Equipment
Considered prototype for Murphy's "disappearing top" body style, movie car from 1934 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers vehicle "Gay Divorcee", wire wheels, dual-mounted spare tires, spare-mounted side-view mirrors, front-hinged doors, radiator shutters.
Condition
Great combination of glamorous provenance with fastidious care, restoration work by Fran Roxas resulted in numerous concours awards, stupendous in every way.
Market commentary
An important Duesenberg that has been maintained without regard to expense throughout its life. Price paid is market correct and J-108 may prove to be well bought in future.
