1932 Duesenberg from Mecum auction
1932 Duesenberg Model J Phaeton
SJ Supercharger, J-463/2480
the Duesenberg Model J, whose 420 CI inline-8 engine used twin overhead cams and four valves per
cylinder to generate 265 horses, enough to take a Phaeton-bodied J to 116 MPH at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway
a centrifugal supercharger was made available beginning in 1932. Advertising claimed 320 HP in the
so-called SJ models, which also included an exhaust cutout that was perfect for rousing the locals
while passing through town at 100 miles an hour.
when Fords cost $500 new, these were $25,000
only built for wealthy clintel, like movie stars
this one was bought for 1,067,000 after not selling at auction
this one was originally owned by Marilyn Monroe's 1st husband, James Dougherty, a Police Officer
or would that have been Marilyn Monroe's Second Husband, Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankee centerfielder
the engine was upgraded with a proper SJ centrifugal supercharger. First offered by Duesenberg in 1932,
the supercharger took the massive 420 CI 32 valve DOHC straight eight engine from 265 horsepower to
320 horsepower, and turned a Model, J into the formidable SJ model.
