1925 Duesenberg Model A Roadster
| May 5, 2008
The “Eight in Line” Duesenberg, introduced in 1920, was the first production car bearing the Duesenberg name. Prior to that date, Fred and August Duesenberg had designed and built cars for other companies such as Mason and Maytag. The brothers also built the famous four-cylinder Rochester-Duesenberg engines that were used in the Roamer, Biddle and Kenworthy. The Model As, which went into production for the 1922 model year, were the beginning of the famous high-performance straight-eights that were “Built to Outclass, Outrun, and Outlast Any Car on the Road.”
This car is a 1925 Duesenberg Model A Roadster with a 259.7 cubic-inch straight eight, 88-horsepower engine. The body was built by Millspaugh & Irish. New, this Duesey was priced at $6,850.
