George Wittell Jr. also commissioned what I believe to be the most beautiful automobile ever built, the"Larger the Life" Duesenberg Weymann Fishtail. An amazing boat tail speedster built on the 153.5 inch limo chassis. He also commissioned a breath taking boat, the "Thunderbird" and had quite an enviable life.
there where also stronger versions in the programm mercedes-benz. The 580K (type W129) got 200hp, the 770 (type W150) got 230hp and the 600K (type W157) got 240hp. But the 580K and the 600k were just prototypes which couldn´t be realised because of ww2.
Bullshit. The 540K only had 180 horsepower. The stock Duesenbergs had 265. Supercharging upped the power to 320, and the final generation with the ram-air intake reached 400. The 500K and 540K are nice, but let's be serious here; there is no competition. The Mercedes are all show, no go.
Horsepower is like insurance... you don't necessarily need it, but when you do it's great to have it.
