About This Vehicle

The Duesenberg Model J is universally acknowledged as the greatest American automobile ever built — a car that set standards of performance, engineering, and coachwork that have never been surpassed by a domestic manufacturer. Powered by a 420-cubic-inch twin-cam straight-eight engine producing 265 horsepower, the Model J could exceed 100 miles per hour at a time when most cars struggled to reach 60.

This exceptional example wears original LeBaron-style Sweep Panel coachwork in the Dual Cowl Phaeton configuration — one of the most dramatic and desirable body styles of the Classic Era. An older restoration has earned AACA National Senior honors, and the car's documented ownership by noted Duesenberg collectors confirms its standing as one of the finest examples of the marque.
