The most common Duesenberg J body style was the Murphy-bodied Convertible Coupe. Murphy produced some 140 examples of the 472 Duesenberg Model Js produced. Sixty of the 140 Murphy-bodied cars were the Convertible Coupe.
This car, engine number J-200, is the 100th Model J produced and still retains its original v-shaped radiator and does not have the added louvres of the later cars. It has a non-disappearing top. It has a 1950s restoration and has been in storage for many years. When new, the car cost $15,000.
In 1959, owner Arthur L. Montgomery - the president of Atlanta Coca-Cola Bottling Company - donated this car to the Museum of Science and Industry.By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2010
