The story
The Duesenberg Model A was the first production car from the Duesenberg Automobile & Motors Company, Inc. It was introduced in 1921 and was produced until 1927. The Model A was notable for its advanced engineering, including the first use of hydraulic brakes on a passenger car.
It set a precedent for the brand's future models, which would become known for their luxury and performance.
History
The Duesenberg Model A was developed by Fred and August Duesenberg, who were known for their engineering prowess and success in racing. The Model A was aimed at the luxury car market and was one of the most advanced cars of its time, featuring an overhead camshaft engine and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. Despite its innovations, the Model A faced production delays and financial difficulties, which limited its commercial success. However, it laid the groundwork for the more famous Duesenberg Model J that followed.
On track
While the Duesenberg Model A itself was not a racing car, the Duesenberg brothers had a strong background in motorsport, having built successful racing cars prior to the Model A. Their engineering expertise in racing influenced the design and performance of the Model A.
