In a time where the average yearly wage was only a few hundred dollars, a Duesenberg could cost upwards in the tens of thousands and were some of the most expensive cars in the world. Duesenbergs were also one of the most luxurious and powerful vehicles of its day. With a body built by Murphy of Pasadena, California and a 420 cubic inch supercharged engine delivering 400 horsepower, this car lived up to the saying that Duesenberg drivers get passed when they wish to get passed. Join our chief historian Leslie Kendall for a deep dive on the history and prestige of this 1933 Duesenberg SJ.

Aaaaaaaaaa, the Duesenberg, one of my all time favorites!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's a great favorite to have!
@@PetersenMuseum Yes it is!!
Mine too
@@joseantoniomartinsdovale4856 👍🙂
I'm still baffled at a Supercharged DOHC 4 Valve in the late 20s and early 30s. Hearing that you would think someone was talking about a Mustang Cobra or something
This car is not only powerful, it’s a beautiful work of art !
One, if not the greatest cars of all time.
Beautiful and powerful.
Not forgetting the Ford Anglia 105e. ☹
The powerful Duesenberg could pass anything except a gas station.
In another episode they said the factory manual said you can get quite good 10 or 13 miles per gallon. That's not bad at all considering the 5400 + lb weight and horsepower. A modern 5400 lb. truck or van with a 300 horsepower fuel-injected computer-controlled 6L with lock up converter and overdrive gets about the same mpg combined City and highway driving.
@@7x779 i get 10 in a 6.4l in an 8000lb truck
just carry one or two jerry can solve that.

If you could afford a
Duesenberg you would
not worry about the
price of the gasoline
(back then gas was
not very expensive
where paved roads
and a good number
of autos. Way out
in the desert, etc.
gas was not cheap.
"It's a Doozy" was coined before the Duesenberg, but it fit so well that it became associated with the car. The Petersen's Duesenberg - the one Leslie is introducing here - is one of three the Petersen owned. They selected this one to retain, probably because it is such a representative example. Murphy coachworks in Pasadena bodied about half the Model J chassis, and this Murphy "Convertible Coupe" was the most popular style. It checks all the option boxes save one: hard trunk, rumble seat, dissapearing top, dual side mount spares with hard covers, twin spot lights, and Pilot Ray driving lamps that pivot with the front wheels to guide you 'round a corner. The only popular option it doesn't have is for the sporting owner: the door on the right side ahead of the rear fender for the golf bag compartment.
Fire it up!!
Would love to own it. But ...
Would settle for just driving it.
WOW what a beauty. Love it!
Great overview, though so much more can be said about this car.
I'll leave it at "that's a doozy" and this car epitomizes the coining of the phrase.
Thanks for the vid! :)
It's a Doozy!
amazing video, really informative and interesting
GORGEOUS
What a car!
Thank you for sharing

Still the most divinely elegant motorcar....
Rolling artwork! I highly recommend the ACD museum in Auburn, Indiana.
A truly gorgeous car..... and certainly "A Real Duesy!!" Just a slight point of correction: According to my College Classmate Jay Leno, who, as you probably know, owns two or maybe even three Duesenbergs, has said that all of the Model Js and even other models, were all produced in 1928.... but took several years to actually sell. So...... in whatever year a particular car was sold, that was listed as "The Manufacturing Year" when in fact it was "The Sold Year." You may cross reference Jay to confirm this statement. Thanks very much, and overall your presentation was exceptionally good. Bravo!! Ted Schempp, Nashville
A rolling work of art
What an amazing machine.
Damn, I haven’t been to Peterson in years. It’s mainly the drive up the 405 fwy from Long Beach that stymies me. Traffic sucks!
But the variety of cars is really mind blowing. Plus once there you got The La Brea tar pits is a couple blocks away plus … lots of other cool LA things to do and see. I’ll go again eventually.
Can’t make a video on this car without a test drive
Look at the quality
this is not a car......this is a space ship in the late twenties
When I lived in Indianapolis I had the pleasure of driving up to Auburn Indiana to the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg museum. If you ever have the opportunity to go don’t pass it up.
Fortunately, Monogram made very nice 1/24 scale kits for those of us who are...less well-heeled.
You could buy a 2 family house in Chicago for $5000.00
Such a delightful car. Way too pricey for most people.
Video is way too short.
this been my dream car since my childhood, gotta buy a white one one day 😠
I guess I don't understand what "wheelbase" means, if the chassis was delivered to the body builder, in this case, Murphy, how could they change the wheelbase to the buyers choice?
much LOVE Kimmyssong
HP is more like 300 not 400. Considering the low octane fuel available at the time
can we use modern fuel in it ?
@@redemissarium yes with a few modifications such as valve seat and timing
Who has John Dillinger's car?
Hlw much displacement👀
ROOF?
This was a space ship
Hard to match my new Jeep Trackhawk 6.2L Supercharged....lol
Seriously that car is a great well built car and timeless indeed
Top speed? 0-60mph?
Nobody measured from 02 60 back then, but a friend of mine with a 69 SS 396 El Camino raced one of these supercharged duesenbergs from a 30 mph roll up to 100 mph and they were dead even. Being around 20 years old and the Duesenberg driver was an old man, he was completely shocked and couldn't believe such an old car could keep up with him and his car which was built at the peak of the muscle car era
@@7x779 yeah I guess these were the Koenigseggs or Bugatti Veyrons of the day
@@sturmanaskie I think Jay Leno said they're about 5600 lb. That's really impressive it could keep up with a 40-year newer big block muscle car that was 2000 pounds lighter
@@7x779 yeah just been watching the Jay Leno episode he said 3 tons. This video gives it a top speed of 120mph. I guess we could be looking at 0-60 speeds of 6 or 7 seconds
Look what you got in bygone era for the same money as a Tesla. Which one would choose?
Is that a rumble seat or a mother-in-law seat?
It was the Bugatti Veyron of the time.
The USA had the fastest car in the world then.
It's combustion, not explosion.
No, they are exploding, it's just not detonating, instead it's a deflagration.
this is not a car.....it was a space ship!!!!!
Heavy Metal .
all Dusenburgs are 1928s
Guys like me can't survive without an excessive amount of help
The voice knows nothing about ACD.
I heard they were a rough ride. Is that true ?
