1929 Duesenberg Town Car


		1929 Duesenberg Town Car

	Ken Purdy wrote in the 1950s that the Model J Duesenberg was "the finest motorcar yet built in the United States." Few have tried to contradict him. Pow-ered by a four-foot long, eight-cylinder engine, with four valves per cylinder and dual overhead camshafts, it was a superior automobile. Between 470 and 480 J Models were built. They were owned by diplomats, debutantes, movie stars, robber barons, gangsters and religious leaders.
