Once owned by Lassiter Hoyle, who souped it up
with some special carburetors and shortened the frame.
Reconstructed in 1963 by noted Duesenberg
restorer Arthur Hol, the wood body was designed by the late-Herb Newport who
also designed the
two SSJ Town Car and the Mormon Meteor; arguably among the
most famous of all Duisenberg's. Its wooden body is constructed of Honduras
Mahogany and was built by John Todd, a Maryland boat and coachbuilder of
extraordinary talent.
