1922 Duesenberg Model A Dual Cowl Phaeton

This Duesenberg is the third Model A built. A total of 650 Duesenberg As were created ruing the model's six-year run and only a handful have survived. Deliveries of the Model A did not start until December 1921 because Fred Duesenberg, who was known for his perfectionist tendencies, decided that the Model A's 8-cylinder engine should have an overhead camshaft instead of the side-rocker arm used on his prototype. The advantages of the overhead camshaft had been proven by Duesenberg racing cars in 1921. This car has the first Dual Cowl Phaeton body built by the Fleetwood Metal Company in Pennsylvania before they moved to Detroit.
