Duesenberg Coupe Simone Midnight Ghost, is a fictional coupé luxury car allegedly branded by Duesenberg in the late 1930s. It first emerged in 1997, when the magazine Automobile ran a feature story about a unique "lost" Duesenberg car found in a barn, while admitting at the end that the car and the related backstory were made up. In 1998, a 1:24 scale model of the purported car was produced by The Franklin Mint, which was followed by a special edition model in 2008, called the Midnight Ghost.[1] According to the backstory, the car was commissioned by the wealthy Frenchman Gui de LaRouche, who had named the car Simone after his mistress. The car was planned to debut at the 1939 New York World's Fair, but failed due to World War II and was eventually lost..... In 2023 it was said to become reality.........did it ? I don't know, but it is a gorgeous car and a great story.
