Description
- Fred and Augie Duesenberg compile a list of achievements unsurpassed in the history of the American motor car: The men who designed and built one of the most powerful of the early, pioneering motor cars, the Mason. The men who developed a unique concept in engine design, the walking beam valve engine, which powered some of the fastest race cars in America in the period 1912-1920. The men who developed the :first straight eight racing engine and the first straight eight passenger car. The men who built the first American race car to win the European Grand Prix. The men who built a machine that set a world speed record on the sands of Daytona Beach. The men who built a marine engine that set a world speed record. The men who designed and built the first successful supercharger for racing cars. The men who did pioneering work on hydraulic brakes. The men who built racing cars that four times won the Indy 500.
- Finally, the men who designed and built the mighty Duesenberg Model J, so widely acclaimed as the greatest passenger car ever made. A machine that would be proclaimed king of them all. A motor car upon which more superlatives would be showered than any other motor car in American history. Then and now.
