Duesenberg Straight 8 1921

About this Artwork

The 1921 Duesenberg, with a 6.9 litre twin overhead camshaft, 32 valve, straight 8 engine that produced 265 bhp and 116 mph. With all-around hydraulic brakes, and engine-driven filtered pressure lubrication system, and a massive frame with six tubular cross members, the Model J was a masterpiece of engineering innovation. Each car received a custom body by leading coach builders, governed by the Duesenberg chief of design, Gordon Buehrig, and was a statement of the buyer's individual sense of luxury. This car became THE car to be see in... Hollywood stars just had to have one as a 'statement' of their status....James Cagny and Gary Cooper amoungst many others owned one!

This is an A3 print of the detailed pencil drawing of this classic machine...and would look fabulous on the office wall or at home if you're allowed to put it there! I have limited the amount of prints that I am selling to 50 and there are not many left now! The original drawing is available at a reasonable cost; email me for details..Or I can do a bespoke drawing of you own machine if you'd prefer...it costs less than you'd think!!
