FORT WAYNE, Ind. In September 2009, a Virginia man thought he bought a 1930 Duesenberg automobile that once belonged to William Randolph Hearst.
And while James Scott paid nearly $3 million in what a judge called a rigged auction for the car, he never received the title to the vehicle. After trying for a few months to secure the title, Scott sued a number of people and businesses in connection with the sale of the car, including a Missouri car dealer, Mark Hyman; a Dowagiac, Mich., couple, Donald and Joan Lyons; Kruse International and the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum.
