About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as the last complete car sold by Duesenberg. Featured at the 1936 New York Auto Show. Purchased new by Coca-Cola president Conkey Whitehead. Later purchased by jazz musician Charles Kyner, who kept it 46 years. Restoration completed in 1990. Not restored yesterday but still gorgeous. Wrinkling to the leather in front is the only serious sign of age.

Market commentary

$2.8M no-sale at Mecum Indy in 2021 and back again here in Monterey where it sold at a reasonable price considering its condition and rather pedestrian coachwork. It's a car that is more important for its place on Duesenberg's timeline than for its design.
