1935 Duesenberg Special “Mormon Meteor”
Financed by oil companies in 1935 this car was created off the Duesenberg Model J platform to break land speed records. It did so, with a top speed over 150 mph. This record stood against teams attempting to surpass it with powerful aircraft engines, a true testament to the Duesenberg engineering.
The next year the car was refitted with a 750hp V12 aircraft engine and a Utah newspaper held a naming contest for the car, dubbing it the “Mormon Meteor”.
The car was later modified for legal road use by the original driver and driven over 20,000 miles, it is now restored to original condition.
