Today, J-269’s restoration remains exceedingly well-maintained, with its rich plum leather interior nicely contrasting with the rich, extremely dark blue shade of the coachwork. Further, it features numerous distinctive features of this particular Murphy design, including the folding armrest in front and rear seats and the lockable “umbrella cabinet” at the feet of rear seat passengers. Not shown competitively in recent years, but regularly exercised, the Model J offers an unparalleled selection of still-unconquered concours for its new owner, and would equally be welcomed to CCCA and ACD Club events. It is offered with both the mounted set of wire wheels, shod in blackwall tires, as well as a second set fitted with wide whitewall tires, and is also complete with an impressive file of invoices and photographs from the exhaustive restoration.
This is undoubtedly one of the finest restored Murphy convertible sedans in the world, a superb Duesenberg with excellent, well-known history and outstanding presentation from top to bottom—a fabulous motorcar worthy of the name.
