Considered an example of art deco moderne design, the
Duesenbird exemplifies the elegance, style, and class that make the Duesenberg Model J one of the grandest automobiles ever built. From an April 1931 Parts List Service Bulletin, the
Duesenbird was identified as part number J-4384A. The radiator cap ornament with its attaching bolt and washer was attainable through Duesenberg, Inc. and sold for $25.10. This was a hefty price for a single part in 1931.
This 1:2 scale replica of the Duesenbird is produced by a US manufacturer and exhibits craftsmanship and quality. Measuring approximately 8-inches in length and stately positioned on a composite wood base, displaying the marque name, Duesenberg Model J, each polished metal mascot comes in a padded gift box ready to gift to any classic car aficionado.
Unlike many figural mascots found on the grand marques from the Golden Age of Transportation, the Duesenbird is distinctive in design. It points the way towards prosperity, sophistication, and streamlined industrialism-a popular cultural and design theme of the 1930s that permeated manufacturing, particularly the automotive industry. Own your own part of the grandest marque ever made, the Duesenberg Model J, with a Duesenbird replica mascot.
