Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, dual sidemounts. A beautifully restored example of superb Murphy design, a closed car that is as handsome and attractive as any open Duesenberg. Restored some time ago for John Mozart and still essentially flawless

Market commentary

Open Duesenbergs still carry a hefty premium, as the Derham Tourster sold today for $726,000 clearly demonstrates, but this Murphy Sports Sedan, with its vee windscreen and tight proportions, comes close in attractiveness and is much more rare, being one of only two built. As such, and in superb condition, at this price it is good value.
