- Comment: ALT1:: ... that the Duesenberg Model A (pictured) wasn't called the "Model A" until after its production ended?

both hooks are short and snappy. Alt1 (which I prefer) is backed by an on-line ref whilst the other is off line. Article length and citation is fine and no evidence of paraphrasing found. No other DYK rules broken. Well written and a car makes a change from our usual range of articles. Thanks Victuallers (talk) 15:08, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
...Sam has pointed me at an online hook for the brakes. There is no stopping him! So these are both ticked. Say it again Sam Victuallers (talk) 19:35, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- (alt2) ... that no one who bought the first production car with four-wheel hydraulic brakes (pictured) called it the Duesenberg Model A?
- It's not that they didn't know it was, it's that it wasn't. It wasn't even a contemporary informal name. No-one called it a Model A until Duesenberg Inc. started doing so when the Model J was introduced more than a year after the end of Model A production.

- Point taken, alt2 is changed, you could do that if you wanted Victuallers (talk) 14:48, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
