Duesenberg Model J in Winter
Original Painting by Simon Ward
24 x 30 inches
Artist Description:
The newly revived Duesenberg Company debuted the Model J on December 1st, 1928 at the New York Car Show. In Europe, it was launched at the Salon de l’automobile de Paris in 1929. The first example, as displayed in New York, was a LeBaron sweep panel dual cowl phaeton, finished in silver and black. By the time of the Great Depression, in October 1929, the Duesenberg Company had only built some 200 cars. An additional 100 orders were filled in 1930. The Model J fell well short of the original goal to sell 500 cars per year. In fact, it took eight years and several iterations to dispatch a mere 480 cars. The Model J was actually obsolete after only a few years, retaining the crash gearbox (non-synchromesh transmission) through the end of its run. E.L. Cord advertised 265hp to best the similarly inflated claim of 250hp for the concurrent, limited-production Mercedes-Benz.
