1935 Duesenberg JN

Only the people who belong to the elite of society and entertainment industry were able to afford a Duesenberg.

Yes, such a task was put in front of designers: no more, no less, but the best car. And you know what? They succeeded. Duesenberg were steeper than Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz. Remember the most luxurious American cars of the ‘30s.

If we talk about the classics of the American screen, few compare with Clark Gable. “It Happened One Night,” “Mutiny on the” Bounty “,” Gone with the Wind “- one of the big three films enough to deservedly wear the crown superstar. But not everyone knows that the brilliant Gable was not only a wonderful actor, but also a real adrenaline maniac. His garage was bursting with the fastest and most luxurious cars, but a favorite has always been the 1935 Duesenberg Model JN. Super expensive, even at the time the convertible is one of the rarest of retro cars: convertible cars were produced only 10 pieces each -- for individual orders. Gable with his third wife Carole Lombard drove the California highways like crazy, squeezing out the 265-horsepower 6.9-liter engine to all available 184 km / h. 80 years later, this figure may seem funny, but absolute speed is irrelevant and only the unique spirit of the Hollywood of the 1930s is important, which is worth much more than the nine million dollars requested for the Duesenberg.
