Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, small Pilot Rays, dual sidemounts with chrome rings and mirrors, luggage trunk, rollup division, jump seats. One of the first Model Js built, acquired by Billy Van Horne with a Holbrook Limo body. Present coachwork mounted by Duesenberg in 1935 for third owner Arnold Burke in Toronto, one of three Duesenbergs with this coachwork. Restored in the 80s earning CCCA National First Prize 919. Refreshed as needed, the restoration is still nearly concours quality. John M. OQuinn estate.
Market commentary
The coachwork on this Duesenberg is almost sumptuous in its design and particularly the rich interior fittings and upholstery. The adaptability of the convertible sedan coachwork is an added plus, as is the very early chassis and engine numbers. The new owner got a high quality car for a modest but realistic price.
