This Duesenberg was built for Miss Annie Purcell of Scarsdale, New York.  She was Madame there and used this limousine to drive her clients to New York City to go to the opera and a night out on the town.  This was one of the most expensive Duesenbergs ever built at a cost of around $40,000 when new.  Every Duesenberg was built individually to the specifications of the owner. The six-fender design is very unique with the extra fender at the base of the rear doors. This car features sterling silver exterior handles and German silver interior handles, door sills and light surrounds.  There is conversation lighting in the rear and a dome light overhead.  There is also a heater in the rear and a mother of pearl call button for the driver.  The two jump seats are for extra passenger seating and makes the car a seven passenger limousine.  The rear interior is camel broadcloth and the front driver's compartment is all leather and matches the exterior of the car.  The top is made of two hides of leather.  This car was purchased for the collection in August of 1990.  This Duesenberg has been driven on many tours across the nation.
