1935 Duesenberg Model J ‘Sweep Panel’ Dual-Cowl Phaeton

  • Coachwork by LaGrande

  • Engine No. J-537

  • Chassis No. 2558

Among the most elegant and refined of the classic Duesenbergs, this 1935 Model J ‘Sweep Panel’ Dual-Cowl Phaeton by LaGrande is the final example of just 15 produced — a historically significant bookend to one of the marque’s most iconic body styles. Originally built as the New York factory branch demonstrator, it showcases a blend of dramatic coachwork and subtle refinements that mark the peak of Duesenberg’s design evolution.

1935 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Open Two-Seater Phaeton

  • Body by Hooper
  • Chassis No. 54UK
  • Body No. 10022

Few Rolls-Royces carry a story as personal or as imaginative as chassis 54UK, a 1935 Phantom II transformed into a one-of-a-kind two-seater sports roadster by a passionate engineer with a vision. Originally delivered to the United States with formal coachwork—likely by Inskip—the car spent its early years in Boston under the care of the Grew family before being acquired by Douglas Rogers in the early 1950s.

1935 Meccedes-Benz 500 K Normal Roadster

  • By Sindelfingen

  • Chassis No. 123692

  • Engine No. 123692

  • Body No. 815401

This exceptional Mercedes-Benz 500 K is an extraordinarily rare example of the ‘Normal Roadster’ body style — an even less common variant than the more widely recognized Special Roadster. It is believed that only a handful of these Normal Roadsters were ever produced, with just five examples known to survive today, making this car a true rarity among pre-war Mercedes-Benz supercharged models.
