Summary

Description

At the turn of the last century, Iowa bicycle makers August and Fred Duesenberg tinkered with gasoline engines and by 1913 Duesenberg Automobile Motors was manufacturing cars. E.L.Cord, who also owned Auburn bought Duesenberg in 1926. The Model J Duesenberg was a luxury car built from 1928-37. More famous people bought the Model J than that of any other American car. With the Tourster, Gordon Buehrig designed a better system for the second windscreen to fold out of the way, rather than hinged, like other phaetons, it slid up and down behind the front seat Toursters were built exclusively by the Derham Body Company in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, only 8 were produced. Engine; 265hp 420 cu in straight 8 OHC.
