Fred and August Duesenberg immigrated to the United States from Germany. The Duesenberg Automobile and Motor Company started in 1919, and it quickly became a leading car manufacturer
The brothers were not interested in mass production methods and so each Duesenberg was built entirely by hand, specially for each client.
Over the company's 19-year life, fewer than 650 sporting and touring cars were made.
