Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Enclosed rear spare, skirts, wheel discs, wide whitewalls, Guide fog lights, vee radiator with screen stoneguard, outside exhaust headpipes.

Condition

An older concours restoration with excellent cosmetics and still nearly concours ready. Replacement engine but otherwise as built with continuous history from new including Prince Serge MDivani (who got it as a gift from his wife Barbara Hutton), Jerry Gebby, Steve Nanini, Pat Ryan and John Mozart. Modern and very attractive one-off Bohman & Schwartz body designed by W. Everett Miller. Spectacular.

Market commentary

There were only 36 SJs delivered by Duesenberg and this is one of them. It is the only example of this sweeping, subtle coachwork. It has a wonderful history and now has earned an important place among memorable Duesenberg auction transactions.
