This is the Duesenberg Model J Dual Cowl Phaeton sn2583 Walker La Grande 1930 Orig & Cur Car Red in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The Duesenberg Model J Dual Cowl Phaeton is one of the most revered luxury automobiles of the 1920s and 1930s, setting itself apart with unmatched engineering sophistication and bespoke coachbuilt elegance. What made the Model J unique was its powerful, high-compression straight-eight engine, which delivered exhilarating performance and smooth, effortless cruising at a time when most luxury cars prioritized comfort over speed. The Dual Cowl Phaeton body — with separate windshields for the front and rear passenger compartments — added a dramatic and distinctive visual flair, while bespoke coachwork from elite builders ensured that no two examples were ever quite alike. In an era dominated by conservative luxury sedans and touring cars, the Duesenberg Model J combined race-born engineering, exceptional build quality, and aristocratic presence, making it a symbol of prestige and ambition that far outshone its contemporaries in the automotive industry.
Ilario’s 1:43 scale models are high-end, hand-crafted miniature collectible cars that capture the elegance and detail of classic and historic automobiles in a compact format (about ~10 cm long). These pieces are typically limited-edition, resin and metal hybrids with photo-etched parts, finished with meticulous paintwork and presented as display-quality collectibles rather than toys, making them prized among serious model car enthusiasts and collectors.
