1931 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Convertible Coupe

Coachwork by Murphy
Chassis Number: 2346
Engine Number: J330
Body Number: 940

This Duesenberg Model J was delivered on June 23, 1930, to Shirley Carter Burden, the grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, and it has a continuous ownership history to the present day. In the mid-1950s Raymond De Vos, the original historian for the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club restored the car and it has been maintained in immaculate condition since then. This car has never been taken apart and is one of the most original, low-mileage examples of the famous Murphy roadsters with disappearing top. It has a very early CCCA senior badge (#50) earned in 1958 at the club's sixth annual meet in Buck Hills Falls, Pennsylvania, and more recently won the CCCA Premier award at the 2002 CCCA Spring Classic. The car has recently been refreshed and its 2016 appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours was the first time it had been seen on the West Coast.
