Only a small number of Duesenberg La Grande Phaetons were ever built.
Duesenberg's philosophy was that is designs should be so original that no Duesenberg would resemble anything other than another Duesenberg. A swept-back, double-cowled Phaeton model featured an inset panel which began at the radiator cap, widened near the cowl , and ended in the door in a reverse curve. This design, the LeBaron, was supplanted by the LaGrande, which had flatter-faced door surfaces, a straight-edge waist line and a panel that extended farther across the front door.Also photographed at :
