The radiator badge of a Duesenberg, "Duesy", 183 racing car fitted with a "Straight 8" engine. This car was raced by Jimmy Murphy at the 1921 Le Mans Grand Prix. They were the first American team to enter, and they won. No American team won at Le Mans again until the 1960's. This was photographed at the 2007 Goodwood Festival of Speed, held at Lord March's Goodwood House in Sussex, England. It's one of the biggest classic car meetings in the world.
