Try getting some of Josh Malks' books on CORD, DUESENBERG and AUBURN automobiles. Go a GOOGLE search. There are lots of places that sell his books.
Here is an Amazon search:

This sounds somewhat hard to believe, car from productions numbers of less than a dozen have gotten lost, accounting for 481 cars would be AMAZING to say the least. I do know that not to long ago a Duesenberg J chassis was found in South America being used as a tractor.[/quote]MICHAEL S SMITH wrote: DON

I'd like to learn more about the chassis found in South America; did a story about it appear in The Newsletter?

Total- 481
SJ's- 36
JN- 8
SJN- 2
SSJ- 2
168" J- 1
That leaves 424 J's, varying in wheelbases (142.5" and 153.5"). As far as surviving Duesenberg's are concerned, I have heard that the number hovers around 350. Some of the problems with this data, is that some J's have had superchargers installed and the factory never really used any of the names you see above. In actuality, the only model that Duesenberg produced after 1927 was the J, the SJ, JN, SJN, and SSJ were all names given by outside companies and individuals.
