Success was imme- diate, with Mulford and Rickenbacker consistently driving Duesen- berg-powered racers to commanding victories. In 1920, the brothers began building their first production car, the Model A. While the car created a sensation at its debut, it was a mere shadow of the massive and extraordinarily expensive Model J (and later SJ and SSJ) which was introduced in 1928. Of the Duesenberg marque it has been said, “If but one of all the automobiles ever built in America had to be singled out as the most glorious achievement in this country’s automotive history, that car would have to be the Duesenberg. It transcended the ordinary in full measure, created legends in its wake which will live forever, and became a literal metaphor -- ‘It’s a Duesy’ -- for anything unrelentingly superlative.” A rarely seen example of this always-popular marque.
