DUESENBERG First Day of Issue: August 25, 1988 First Issue Location: Detroit, Michigan This was the car coveted by the stars; the car that everyone wished they could own. In the Golden Age of Hollywood, flashy cars became the perfect accent and attention- getter. And the Duesenberg was a favorite choice. To be seen in one was an honor; to own one meant success. Designed by Fred Duesenberg, these autos were ad- vanced ... they were luxurious ... and they were deli- ciously expensive. In short, they became the perfect status symbol for producers like Howard Hughes and stars like Mae West, and for the very rich like William Randolph Hearst or New York Mayor Jimmy Walker. The Duesen- berg cars were massive -- one model was thirteen feet long -- with huge engines of race track quality. Body styles came from an array of fine coaches designed by the industry's best, and were ordered by the individual pur- chaser from a book of styles especially suited to the Duesenberg chassis. This magnificent car came to epito- mize the good life in America, with all of its accompany- ing glitter, glamour and gleam.
