Market commentary

This is a great buy in a distinctive and attractive Hibbard & Darrin design: rare, transforms into fully open coachwork. As a Duesenberg its all things to all men and has a tantalizing history to go with it, lacking only a supercharger to make it king of the road. Auburn Fall 2003s top price.
