  • 1932 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Disappearing-Top Torpedo Convertible Coupe, J-476 / 2485, owned by the ACD Automobile Museum (donation of Don Carr). This car was originally owned by Cliff Durant, the son of GM founder William C. Durant; Durant traded it for cash and a Duesenberg Model A roadster to oilman J. Paul Getty. Later the car was owned by writer John O'Hara, who offered it to the Navy as a staff car during WWII (they did not accept his offer). The late Don Carr restored the car and drove it more than 106,000 miles before donating it to the museum.

  • 1934 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Convertible Coupe, J-286 / 2471, owned by the ACD Automobile Museum (donation of Carmine & Lucille Zeccardi). This car originally had a Judkins Limousine body, and was first owned by millionaire adventurer Colonel E.R. Bradley, who traded in another Duesenberg on it. The current body, one of two LWB Murphy Convertible Coupes, was originally installed on J-377, which also still exists but has a replica LaGrande Phaeton body. Body and chassis were put together in the early 1980s for former owner Rick Carroll.
