In one of his articles in the 1960s, the late Ken Purdy wrote about trying to sell a Duesenberg in the U.S. in the 1950s, but because the body was by Saoutchik, "whose panel-beating ran to the bizarre," he could not find a buyer. He was probably mistaken on the coachbuilder, but I've always wondered.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Too bad, it probably didn't survive.
Thanks for the info. I would have gone mad with futile google searches!

No, that is the only one that we have photos of. According to Josh Malks's book the other was probably a Berline for which numbers aren't known.

In Adler's book it is mentioned that Saoutchik built coachworks for two Duesenbergs, this is one, are there pictures of the other one?
