Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts with strap-on mirrors, Pilot-Rays, dual remote spotlights, dual windshields, Beige leather trunk.
Condition
Used as the Chicago factory demonstrator, supercharger installed by Duesenberg in period. Later had a Willoughby Berline body, then rebodied by Harold Orchard in a copy of the original LaGrande dual cowl phaeton for Hubert Fischer during restoration. Very good paint, chrome and interior. 2014 Greenwich Concours Best of Show. Its older concours restoration now shows some tour miles but is still beautiful and imposing.
Market commentary
Sold by Auctions America at Fall Auburn in September 2013 for $858,000 and a little bit more used now than it was then but still an impressive concours-ready car as its June 2014 Greenwich Concours award shows. Not surprisingly the consignor declined to take a hit of this magnitude although with the rebody the bid here in Arizona is probably more realistic than the price it brought in Auburn.
