Duesenburg at Saratoga Races
Duesenburg Model J Original Painting by Simon Ward
24 x 30 inches
Introduced in 1928, just before the stock market crash, this excessively expensive, low-volume motorcar suffered from bad timing. Fortunately there were enough blue-blooded aristocrats and Hollywood elites to keep the Model J alive and in production for nearly a decade. It was cleverly engineered and lavishly equipped, making it an obvious status symbol, intended to rival the size, power, and luxury of top European brands such as Hispano-Suiza and Rolls-Royce.
