IIRC, there are a few Hispano-Suizas in the Cord Duesenberg museum in Auburn, In. The similarities to Duesenbergs are striking.

Seems possible but i must have missed them. (or neglected to photo)

The similarities to Duesenbergs are striking.

Amen.
Even the hood ornament, though the Duesy's is more elegant.

Such gorgeous cars - I may be very well recalling incorrectly.

I lived a few years as a kid about 50 miles from the museum, building as many plastic Duesenberg models as I could get my hands on, hoping to go to Germany as an adult to see the factory and the real cars.

What a revelation to find out later they'd been made in Indiana - right up there with grasping the concept of infinity, realizing my parents were human and discovering women.
