The Duesenberg Model J

Launched in 1928, just before the onset of the Great Depression, the Model J aimed to rival the high standards set by Rolls-Royce. Combining elegance, luxury and power, it quickly became the ultimate symbol of wealth and prestige for royalty and the rich and famous.

One of only eight built, this Tourster model, crafted by the renowned coachbuilder Derham, features a sleek open body with the distinctive ‘Duesenbird’ bonnet mascot. The luxurious interior uses the highest quality materials and has intricate details like the wind-down windscreen for rear passengers. Its engine with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder made it one of the most powerful and fastest cars of the time.
