Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewall tires, beige leather covered luggage trunk, dual enclosed sidemounts, Pilot-Rays, mesh hood sides, outside headpipes, folding windshield, dual windshields.
Condition
CCCA National First Prize (unnumbered). Very good older paint, chrome, interior and top. An older show quality restoration now showing a little age but not much use. Both front doors hang out at the bottom; other panel fits are very good. An originally supercharged Duesenberg with a replacement supercharger, preserved in remarkable condition.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at Hershey in 2008 in a post-block transaction for $1,688,500. Bid to $2.1 million on the block here, reported sold at $2.3 million all-in later. Choice Duesenberg SJs with all their original major parts don't show up very often, let alone with LaGrande sweep panel LWB Phaeton coachwork. Despite the restoration's age and the dated colors this is a big time Classic for a realistic price.
