Diecast 1:18 Scale Duesenberg SSJ Speedster by Auto World Now Available to Collectors!
Found in 1913, Duesenberg automobiles were some of the most powerful and luxurious cars ever built during the golden age of motoring. Duesenberg built their reputation for speed by taking the checkered flag at the Indy 500 four times and winning at Le Mans in 1921.
Auto World has recreated the ultra-rare 1935 Duesenberg SSJ Speedster in large 1:18 scale diecast. Only two of these fantastic lightweight short wheelbase automobiles were ever built by the factory. One was purchased by Gary Cooper. And the head-turning metallic green and red car you see here which was driven by Clark Gable.
Auto World’s diecast masterpiece captures the magnificent lines and details of this American classic to perfection. The bold chrome grille and art deco “bird in flight” hood ornament announce the power under the hood. The artful sweep of the pontoon fenders and the curved dip in the doors are perfectly recreated in 1:18 scale diecast. Open the butterfly hinged hood to admire the 420 CID supercharged straight-eight engine complete with exhaust pipes bursting through the hood. Swing open the doors to inspect the incredible engine turned dash panel with full instrumentation. Chrome wire spoke wheels with whitewall balloon tires complete this magnificent 1:18 scale diecast.
No diecast collection is complete without this fantastic Auto World 1:18 scale 1935 Duesenberg SSJ Speedster!
