Matt you need to waste more time looking at old cars!

That is called a dual cowl phaeton. Phaeton being an open car with more than a single row of seating ( that would be a roadster), and side curtains as opposed to roll-up windows.

Matt, ( or any of you) depending on where you are, you could begin your education next week--Oct 10-13 in Hershey, PA is the biggest antique car event in the world. An amazing gathering of parts vendors, cars for sale, and a stunning car show. Something close to 10,00 vendor spaces. It extends for well over a mile all along Hershey Park Drive from thr Giant Center to the Stadium.

As for the Dusenberg---I was looking at a rolling Chasis for a J last year at Hershey. I noticed they used flex discs on the driveshaft --just like on our Mercedes.
