Originally bodied by Derham, then redone by Bohman & Schwartz for M.K. Barbee with the present teardrop fenders, fender skirts, waterfall grille and lowered roof covered in padded leather. Long history of noted Duesenberg collectors. Restored at Blackhawk to 1997 Pebble Beach Best in Class condition.

Market commentary
Sold at the Hershey Auction in 2002 for $337,500, then at Auburn Fall in 2018 for $737,000. The price it brought here reflects its reputation, design and the considerable work that has gone into it recently to make it again a concours star but even taking the work and recent awards into account this is an impressive result.
