  2. Gary is far more enticing perched on a spiffy-looking Deusenberg than he is next to that frumpy Mercury (it looks like an oversized sow bug)!

  4. My Dad owned a model of the Gary Cooper Dusenberg -- I remember it being green with yellow accents. It was sold by Franklin mint I believe. I'll see if the internet has any pictures.
