1932 Duesenberg J Bohman & Schwartz Aero “Mudd” Coupe | March 20, 2008
This Duesenberg (# J-212) was originally created as a four-door Derham-bodied sedan. When it was less than a year old, however, the car was purchased by Dr. Seeley Mudd. Dr. Mudd immediately sent his car to coachbuilders Bohman and Schwartz to have a new body installed upon the car’s chassis. Upon his specific desires, this new car would be exact to the dimensions and requests of Dr. Mudd.

Months later, this car, now known as the “Mudd Coupe,” rolled out of the Bohman and Schwartz shop. True to Dr. Mudd’s vision, the bold yet some might say sinister design of this Duesenberg employed aerodynamic principles that were only experimental in the early 1930s. Body panels were covered with leather-like Zapon cloth. The car also featured a large sliding sunroof – perhaps the very first sunroof ever designed on an American car.

Powered by an enhanced supercharged 170-hp 420-cubic-inch double overhead camshaft straight eight, this is one of the most unique and significant Duesenbergs in the world.
