The original 1935 Duesenberg SSJ is widely regarded as one of the most extraordinary automobiles of the pre-war era. Developed as a high-performance variation of the famed Duesenberg Model J, the SSJ featured a shortened wheelbase and a supercharged straight-eight engine capable of delivering remarkable power and speed for its time. At a period when luxury cars were defined by elegance rather than performance, the SSJ stood apart as a bold combination of both.
