Power: 400 HP by special equipment like double carburetor arrangement and
changed, double induction pipes
Maximum speed: approx. 240 km/h
By a vehicle 28.000 kms were put back(covered) in 21
days. A saloon car ran 5.000 kms non stop. One ran even with tyre change and
tank stops the engine.
Four valve technic, upside camshafts and
Hemispherical fuel spaces documented even then the high technical claim.
Technical facts with most Automobile manufacturers only during the sixties again
were invented.
The leader's
frame expelled with a height of 20,6 cm a dimension which is usual to this day -
but in the truck building. The car bodies came mostly from Murphy, rolling sound
or La grandee. But also European Karossiers like Graber, Vanden Plas, Figoni or
Franay supplied the desirable constructions. The car bodies were often changed
or modernizes because this was more positive, than to acquire an entirely new
vehicle.
Less well-to-do like Al Capone-are content with
Cadillac or Packhard.
The models SJ reached with it regularly maximum
speeds of over 200 km/h. Only 36 vehicles were built with this compressor SJ engine.
Still today there is in the USA the usual
formulation " It's a Duesie " as an expression of the highest
acknowledgment. A lot of luck belongs to it Düsenberg in the original to see.
Only with very high-carat arrangements such secret treasures of automobile
cultural asset can be admired. (Pebble Beach " Concourse de Elegance "
etc)
After in
1935 from JENKINS with an engine getunten Düsenberg to which also wind-slippery
streamlined contours car body were missed Geschwindigkeits world record with
245,432 km/h reached, also let of the owners of that time of our Düsenberg
shown here modernize the car body of his(its) vehicle entirely. It became from a
LeBaron Convertible a racy Boattail Speedster custom-made which was very similar
optically to the record vehicle from from JENKINS. An Innbegriff of luxury and
sportiness!
The changes of the car body were incidentally with
exclusive autosmithies an usual modernization measure.
Düsenberg belongs to the quite big
names and rare pieces of the automobile history. We are proud to be able to
offer Düsenberg SJ Special - and with it a unique rare piece to the purchase to
our customers. For collector, lover and investors is this vehicle a very good
investment.
When Düsenberg concluded(closed) in 1937 his(its)
work net curtain for good, 470 vehicles the J and series SJ had been produced
altogether.
Today still 370 vehicles of this brand(stamp) and exist after our searches with
approximately 100 vehicles car body changes were carried out.

DUESENBERG
was created in 1920 by the brothers Fred and August Düsenberg, to the sons of a
German immigrant from lip. The initially modest sales success was increased by
publicity-pregnant reliability tests.
Some racer's consequence also
contributed to the image increase. But the final successful outcome came with
the model J.Das in 1928 presented
model J rows engine showed 6,9 l of eight-cylinder engine whose performance with
265 PS was given (indicated).
The
armature board from polished aluminium became even then with pressure
announcement for the brake assembly, 150 mph speedometer 240 km/h and even to an
altimeter equipped. Stearing headlights cared with fast night trips for a
better sight in curves and with it for raised safety of the passengers.
Happy owners like Gary Cooper, Clark Fork up,
William Randolph Hearst, king Alfonso XIII of Spain, Howard Hughes or the
chewing gum king Philip K. Wrigley in the position were to be afforded Düsenberg.
However, Düsenberg set the climax of the American
automobile building in 1932 with the model SJ offered here. The SJ was the
compressor execution of the J and performed says and writes 320 PS. The German
tops vehicle mercedes benz 540 K created just(exactly) the half, normal auto
like Opel of Olympia only approximately one tenth of this engine power.
These
superlative degrees in technology, performance, price and clientele let Düsenberg
autos already while still alive to the legend and become desired rare piece.
This Düsenberg shown here is a SJ Boattail -
Speedster in a quite special modification. In accordance with J. L. Elbert ` s
in 1951 published standard work " Düsenberg the mightiest american
motorcar " this vehicle also of the original orders engine with which he
was delivered originally as a " Le baron convertible Sedan ". With it
the vehicle Matching Numbers has.
Also the engine became getunt like the record
vehicle. Now a double carburetor arrangement in connection with changed
induction pipes cared for the unsurpassed, grand engine performance of 400HP.
Now the "Catout-Exhaust-System" had to be inserted also in this
Spezification as an exhaust arrangement. With it the driver of the vehicle
with tight trip can open two taxable exhaust
valves and help the engine with it to the better waste gas disposal. The
enormous force of the engine can develop with it uphindered. Then, however, the
Sound of the vehicle with opened exhaust corresponds to rumbling an aeroplane -
therefore of radial engine and it is to be recommended to apply this exhaust
flaps only beyond the city.
One kept the vehicle, changed only the construction
and had saved such an optically completely new auto and a lot of money. So,
e.g., Ettore Bugatti with one the magnificent Bugatti Royale in a period of
approx. 10 years changed three times the car body.
No single vehicle vehicle of the brand(stamp) Düsenberg
with this very rarely inserted engine equipment is known world-wide.
Nevertheless, this is the strongest engine the Vorkriegszeit for a car. Even the
impressive and legendary BUGATTI ROYALE by which only 6 copies were finished
disposed only of 300PS.
