Following the pictures on ultimatecarpage.com from the same event, this is Duesenberg Model J Chassis #2162, engine #J-137, 2-passenger Fixed-Top Coupé, body by Judkins following an early design by Gordon Buehrig for Duesenberg (he came to Duesenberg in June, 1929). One of the pictures on ultimatecarpage shows a rear view of the car with a number plate reading "1929".--Chief tin cloud (talk) 19:17, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This car is also on conceptcarz as a 1930 model. Capture reads: "This is an exciting coupe, chassis number 2162 and engine number J137, it is the first Gordon Buehrig-designed Duesenberg. It was not unusual for cars of the classic era to have several different bodies mounted on them, and this chassis originally carried a Murphy convertible coupe configuration. There were only two Duesenberg Judkins Coupes of this style built, and this example is the only one remaining."--Chief tin cloud (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
