This Duesenberg has lived three lives. It was originally a traditional formal car. Later in its life, it was converted into a race car. In recent years, it has been accurately restored and finished in a Dual Cowl Phaeton in the style of Murphy. It rides on the large, 153.5-inch wheelbase and is powered by a 420 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine.By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2013
