About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Original engine, crankshaft, chassis, and body. Striking paint finish that still looks stunning from a short distance, but there are cracks behind the front bumper and light blistering on top of the doors. Nearly spotless underneath. Good, lightly worn interior a former show car that’s still beautiful but wouldn’t take home a trophy.

Market commentary

Its Murphy coachwork also is exceptionally handsome and it is no surprise that it brought a superior price appropriate to its impression and provenance. It's a Duesenberg that's been around for ages and that everyone knows and respects.
