This is actually a Duesenberg Model J, rebodied by the late Mike Kollins, a retired Packard engineer.  The Duesey engine was also modified for increased performance (as if it needed it), and this car used to appear at the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg festival in Auburn, Indiana for quite a few years. I saw it there a couple of times, and while the 1950's styling wasn't to everyone's taste, it was an impressive piece of work.  The car still exists.

Right in every detail!
According to most info I've seen though the car does actually have a name.
If you give me it you've earned your point!
