Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewall tires, dual enclosed sidemounts with mirrors, Trippe lights, metal trunk, rollup rear window, tinted glass visors.

Condition

A quality old restoration in dated colors. Paint has several age-related flaws. Upholstery and chrome are good. A fine old car in good touring condition. Owned since 1968 by Tony Pascucci and his son, something of a legend among Duesenbergs and a car that is complete and original in all important respects. One of only eight built by Derham in this body style.

Market commentary

They don't get much better than this, and the price is nothing if not reasonable even with the antique restoration. This is a car that should be driven and enjoyed before it is restored, if it should be restored at all.
