Phaeton

This vehicle is a 1927 Duesenberg Model Y Phaeton and is believed to be the only one created, and fitted with several engine configurations. It was an experimental vehicle that was meant to be a transitional model between the X and the J. Because it was a prototype, Augie Duesenberg was given the task of destroying the engine and chassis, but kept the body. The body was later mounted on a Duesenberg Model A chassis and gave it some non-Duesenberg wheels. The body is believed to have been built as an in-house prototype.

The Model Y gave styling cues to Duesenbergs future models, especially from the cowl forward which is similar to the Model Js. The sheet metal is nearly identical to what was used in production a year later.

Currently, the Model Y is powered by a straight-eight engine displacing 260 cubic-inches and offering 88 horsepower. The car has a wheelbase that measures 136 inches.
