Vilas Motor Works in Bryan Texas, which neighbors College Station, had a Duesenberg engine with transmission in there shop in March 2016. Looked to be setting there for a while, and may still be there. Also appeared to be in very good original external shape. Engine block paint was green, no rust. Single carburetor.

The Delco electricals through me for a loop when I first saw the engine. I knew this was not a General Motors engine.
