If there is one automobile that involves fantasy of vintage luxury and fame it’s the Duesenberg from which the phrase “It’s a Doozie” was born and derived. What are the origins and background of this most regal form of transportation?

The Duesenberg’s were designed by race car builders and hard running pioneers August and Fred Duesenberg. Indeed the great Duesenberg J series cars reflected the pair of brother’s racing backgrounds. Duesenberg J models incorporated such advanced features of their time as straight eight engines, double overhead camshafts and even four valves for each cylinder – which was indeed a power seeking as well as expensive innovation for its day.

There is no question about it. The tradition and great technical innovative effects of the Model A Doozies are with us in the worldwide and US auto markets even to us in this era of 2009 / 2010 . Early mechanical and engineering starts and triumphs are fully the record of the Duesenberg A roster and include fully four wheel hydraulic brakes, which used a mixture of both water and alcohol as brake fluid and fluids. At the point in time , that the Dusenberg Models introduced full hydraulic braking mechanisms what were commonly used were standard mechanical brakes – not dissimilar to what you have installed on your bicycle.

Why was it that it took a luxury high end automotive series of products to bring the Duesenberg line of motor vehicles to the automotive historical forefront and not the innovations of the racing car brothers ? First as always is cost – that is in relation to its marketplace. Always consumers and car buyers look and compare a vehicle for purchase to other products in its market segment and niche. Its a price comparison process to the “competition” and competitive vehicles in the auto transportation marketplace. The Model A was priced over the budget of most car buyers – a hefty seven to 8 thousand dollars – which was a very large sum in the eras of the roaring’20’s. Also add historical happen-chance to the mix. After all this was the era post World War 1. It was not only Duesenberg which suffered from the associated stigma of a Teutonic Germanic nameplate. The Chrysler Corporation as well suffered from the same automotive marketing issues to the American motoring public and communities.

Yet as is always interesting in the automotive market it was a business people along with marketing staff that brought the wonderful auto creation to fruition not off all things the racing pair of the Duesenberg brothers. Cord immediately initiated the design of the Model J super car. The rest as they say is simply history and historical fact of the future mainstay of the American economy – the automotive industry.
