That is the E1 prototype. Fred Duesenberg had much input. Erret Cord wanted a V16. Fred convinced him a V12 would do the job. The E1 was build in 1932. EL Cord wanted a car bigger than the Duesenberg J. But they could not sell Deusenberg J chassis so Cord ordered Fred to destroy the E1. Fred could not bring himself to do it. Rather he disassembled the car and put it in storage in pieces. The E1 is @$#%@$% long!!!! As a side note....you will see Duesnberg J's from 1929-1937. The 485 +/- chassis were all built in 1929. It just took that long to sell a $8500+ chassis without body.
