This 1971 Duesenberg SSJ Roadster was built by The Duesenberg Corporation of Gardena, California and was patterned after a 1935 Duesenberg SSJ. Most replicar manufacturers produced molded bodies made of fiberglass. However, this Duesenberg body was made up of aluminum panels supported on ash wood frames with machine-hammered steel fenders. The car was equipped with steel disc wheels, Bijur chassis oiler, automatic transmission, power steering and a Paxton supercharged 383 Chrysler engine. The engine has special features such as heavy-duty bearings and crankshaft, special valves and rotators and compression suited to supercharging. The interior has brown leather upholstery and brown wool carpeting.
This beautiful Duesenberg replica was once owned by the famous singer and Hollywood star, Sammy Davis, Jr.
