Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires, dual sidemounts, single Pilot Ray, mesh grille sides, dual carbs. Quality older concours restoration showing a little age but excellent care and little use. Delivered new as a supercharged SJ for Col. Schick (Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp). Frame replaced long ago with 2577 but otherwise as built by Duesenberg and Brunn. A handsome and practical automobile. Restored by Fran Roxas a few years ago. John OQuinn Collection.
Market commentary
Bought by John OQuinn at RMs Amelia Island auction in 2005 for $1,320,000 freshly restored. A few years, a few miles (23, according to the odometer), less than magnificent attention and this is a reasoble value for the car. Its a measure of the caliber of a Roxas restoration that even after five years in a Houston warehouse this is still a magnificent automobile.
