Garbo personally owned or worn

Garbo's Rolls - Royce

Garbo's Rolls Royce was sold years ago and is in a castle museum in Switzerland. The castle museum is at Le château de Grandson (The Grandson castle). on the boards of lake Veuchatel in Switzerland, not far from Lausanne.

Greta Garbo's Rolls Royce

The white Rolls Royce is quite impressive. They also put some Garbo photos and infos around it so we suppose this is the pride piece of the collection of old automobiles belonging to the museum.

Le château de Grandson

It is a private collection from what we know, although there is no explanation as to when this car was acquired or at what time it belonged to Greta Garbo, but it must be authentic we suppose.

Greta Garbo's Rolls Royce is the prize trophy in Grandson's car collection

Once they had an auction and the person who won got a chance to be driven at Greta Garbo's Rolls Royce. That must have been a wonderful feeling!

The museum: Ironically, it is not the rich history of Grandson that attracts many of the visitors to the castle. They prefer instead to head straight for the basement, where a vintage car museum is located. This slightly incongruous collection of automobiles, motorcycles and cycles belonged to Georges Filipinetti, the Geneva millionaire who owned the castle between 1956 and 1981.

Many of the cars date from the late 19th century, but two vehicles in the collection stand out: Greta Garbo's enormous white Rolls Royce, and a faithful old black Austin 10, which Winston Churchill owned throughout the Second World War.It's a fitting resting place for this vehicle.

Opening times: The castle is open every day between April 1 and October 31 from 8.30am to 6pm, and the rest of the year between 8.30am and 11am and in the afternoon from 2pm to 5pm.

Garbo's Make-up box

Garbo's Dusenberg?

It is said that Garbo bought a custom-built cranberry-red Duesenberg in 1933. S he couldn't know that the car would rank a half-century later as one of the world's supreme classic motor vehicles, valued at more than $3 million.  Garbo's 1933 Duesenberg includes design traits to mirror her reclusive personality. The car's body, fashioned in Paris, kept the Greta completely hidden. The rear seat has secret compartments where she hid her jewelry.

Did Greta owned a Duesenberg?
The Garbo mystique has been attached to the car for decades, but Garbo was never even seen with a J-481, at least not by anyone with a camera. And as she said she never owned it, so who are we to argue? Myths, however, sometimes find enduring life when attached to something as valuable as a Duesenberg.

Did Greta own a Fernandez & Darrin convertible Victoria "Duesenberg" car?
According to the book Conversations with Greta Garbo (by Sven Broman), Greta said: "But most of the stuff in the papers is wrong. They once wrote that I had a car, the kind called a Duesenberg, specially fitted with a dressing table. I never had a Duesenberg." She then went on to other subjects and no further reference to the car was made. In all the other Garbo books there are no references to a Duesenberg.

Was a Duesenberg ever built for Garbo?
As far as can be ascertained the answer is yes, but the car was never registered to Garbo. It was actually built in 1932 for display at the Paris Salon and it is long believed that car 2515, J-481, was a gift to Garbo, however, she was never photographed with it. Photos do exist showing the car with her close friend, actress Suzy Vernon, and that's as close to Garbo as the J-481 gets. The car is now in a private collection in Reno, Nevada.
