Duesenberg Model J chassis 2333, built in 1930 by Duesenberg Inc. of Indianapolis, represents a striking example of the marque’s engineering excellence paired with custom American coachwork. Like all Model Js, it was delivered as a bare chassis, then fitted with bespoke bodywork, in this case by the Walter M. Murphy Company of Pasadena, California, one of the most influential and prolific Duesenberg coachbuilders.

Chassis 2333 is fitted with a distinctive Murphy Sports Sedan body, a style that blends formal luxury with a subtle sporting character. Notably, its polished aluminum trim contrasts beautifully with the bodywork, while the ultra-thin windshield pillars reflect Murphy’s celebrated “Clear Vision” design philosophy, maximizing visibility while giving the car a light, modern appearance.

The result is a sophisticated yet dynamic automobile that perfectly complements the powerful Model J chassis beneath it. Combining advanced engineering with refined, forward-thinking design, J‑2333 stands as a compelling example of why the Duesenberg became synonymous with ultimate luxury and performance.
