This impressive Murphy-bodied 1931 Duesenberg Model J coupe owned by eccentric playboy George Whittell Jr. more than doubled the previous record Duesenberg sale ($4.455 million in 2004) when it brought $10.34 million dollars at auction last weekend.
Hemmings reports the amazing Duesenberg sale is the highest price an American car has ever brought at auction.
