1931 Duesenberg Model J Navigation
Duesenberg J 396 is a re-bodied Weymann La Grand Torpedo Phaeton, which is said to be the ultimate expression of the Model J in all its glory. The original design was penned by stylist Gordon Buehrig, and built by Brunn. Only five original Torpedo Phaetons were built, and they sit on a 154.5-inch wheelbase. This car won best of show for new coachwork at the ACD meet in Auburn, IN, and won the Bill Mitchell award for best design at the Meadow Brook Concours. An interesting feature is the instrumentation in the back seat so passengers in the back can observe the speed driven. This elegant 'Duesy' is the result of a 20-year restoration.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2007
