The Duesen­berg Automobile & Motors Co., Inc., founded in 1920, was known for its luxury and high-performance racing automobiles. In 1921, founders and brothers Fred and Aug­ust Duesen­berg won a Grand Prix race with an American automobile for the first time, catapulting the Duesen­berg into the spotlight. They would go on to popularize the straight-eight engine and four-wheel hydraulic brake system, and become the ultimate means of trans­port­ation for the rich and famous of the time. Its logo, a detailed eagle with outspread wings featuring “Duesen­berg” in ornate lettering, became a symbol of power and prestige.

This restored Duesenberg J-505 Con­vert­ible Sedan has stirred up a lot of interest since the story of its acquisition appeared in the March 3rd, 2005, issue of Old Cars Weekly, Vol.34, No.9.
