Kip Cyprus describes the 1929 Duessenbeger:
A unique fact about the 1929 Duesenbergar is that it is one of the only J models that has an angled window to that degree with a chopped top.
It was built this way with an invisible top. So, what happens is the back deck look of the car – the deck that goes up and the top goes down – and it disappears along with the rumble seat.
The Dusenbergers were all custom-made for each client. It was the very wealthiest people in the 20s who were able to buy one of these, and they were all made a little different and special for each client.
This Duesenberg has been well-preserved interior-wise, supporting its original seats and dash, along with a lot of its original finishes along with some finishes from when it was previously restored in 1977.
It had to undergo a refresh and cleanup this past year for Pebble Beach.
Running a straight-eight, this car is a non-supercharged model, although they had some that were supercharged.
This is the step you take to step into the rumble seat that opens up, and there’s a couch back there.
It’s just a beautiful piece of art.
