Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual sidemounts, chrome wire wheels, aluminum luggage rack, rumble seat, dual remote spotlights, Pilot Rays, steering column mounted radio controls. Original body chassis combination with formerly supercharged engine from chassis 2556 with blower removed during this cars years in Spain (1941 1990) and restored in Spain sometime after 1976. Recently with Al Webster, Bob Gottlieb and Piers MacDonald. Repainted by Stone Barn subsequent to 2000. Engine rebuilt some time after 1990 and transmission in 2001, both by Brian Joseph. Brakes, top and wheels also redone since 2000. In nearly like new condition and recently freshened by RM Restorations with a new blower from Leo Gephart and Brian Joseph installed to return it to its original configuration. Paint, interior and chrome are excellent.

Market commentary

Bought at RMs Meadow Brook auction in 2003 for $825,000 and a small fortune spent on it since to make everything right and install the blower so its not surprising the owner declined the opportunity to lose a hundred thousand dollars or so on it after commissions. It is a spectacular Duesenberg, with all thats ALL the right stuff.
