1935 Duesenberg SSJ Roadster (Replica)
In the early 1970s, a growing market appeared for what the automotive trade calls "replicars" - copies of popular classic cars with modern engines, running gear, and internal components - sold as finished cars, not as kits. The 1971 Duesenberg SSJ Roadster pictured here was built by The Duesenberg Corporation of Gardena, California and was patterned after the 1935 Duesenberg SSJ. Unlike most fiber-glassed-bodied replicars, this car was built using aluminum panels supported on ash wood frames with machine-hammered steel fenders. The car is equiped with steel disc wheels, Bijur chassis oiler, automatic transmission, power steering, and a Paxton supercharged 383-cid Chrysler V-8 engine.
The car was formerly owned by entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr., who donated the car to the museum.
