All Duesenbergs are unique, but this one is extra special.
, this unique rarity stands out. Lee. R. Anderson Sr.’s 1932 Duesenberg J Figoni Sports Torpedo, which took Best of Show at the 2022 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, was bodied by Giuseppe Figoni, several years before Figoni joined forces with Ovidio Falaschi to produce many truly marvelous cars under the name Figoni et Falaschi.
The car then came to the US, but the new owner didn't like the body."He wanted to change the fenders on it so he took the body off and put a replacement body on it," Anderson said."Somebody else bought the first body and put it on another Duesenberg chassis. So now you’ve got two cars running around, saying, 'We're the French Speedster.' And neither one of them were the French Speedster anymore. So that's all really interesting.
