Information
Convertible Coupe J-112 by Murphy
Debuting in December 1928, this car was the first Model J Duesenberg sold.
Humphrey W. Chadbourne, a prominent mining engineer, purchased the J-112 at the show for $13,500. He had the factory add a spotlight, electric siren, Martin Cord tires and an HWC monogram on each door. The monograms remain in place. He sold the car in 1937 to a Yale student, when the factory closed. Several unique features can be noted on this car, including an exposed honeycomb radiator, experimental design bumper, simple gas tank cover, hub medallions and the under-the-hood horn.
The current owner purchased and restored J-112 in 1996 and is the sixth owner. The J-112 has participated in four National Duesenberg Tours with the Schaubach family. It has been shown at many major concours events throughout the country, garnering a AACA National First Prize win, multiple Class wins and also Best of Show.
