The Indianapolis-based Duesenberg Company produced the Model J from 1929 until 1937. Powered by a 420 cubic-inch double overhead-cam engine, it offered 265 horsepower normally and 320 horsepower with the addition of the centrifugal supercharger. It was capable of 104 mph in second gear and a top speed of 130 mph. A total of 480 examples were sold and received custom coachwork tailored to the individual whims of each owner with no two Duesenbergs exactly the same. At the time, a Ford Model A sold for under $500; a top-of-the-line Duesenberg could cost $20,000. The cost of the rolling chassis was around $8,000 and usually included a radiator grill, mechanical components, dashboard, and other essentials.
