1935 Duesenberg Model JN Convertible Coupe - Clark Gable

This Duesenberg was originally owned by movie star, Clark Gable, who commissioned Bohman & Schwartz, coachbuilders in Pasadena, California to rstyle this Model JN Convertible Coupe - a car originally built by Rollston Body Company of New York.

Designer W. Everett Miller worked closely with Gable to carry out his wishes, and the result remains a stunning and personal statement as bold and rakish as the actor himself.

Clrak Gable drove this car on many trips during his romance with actress, Carile Lombard. Following her tragic death in an airplane crash, Gable left the Duesenberg in Canada with orders it would be sold and he would never have to see it again.
