He owns the only 1927 Duesenberg in the World Once Driven by Augie Duesenberg
For Bob Becker, owning a car isn’t just about driving; it’s about preserving a piece of history, and his 1927 Duesenberg Model Y is no ordinary car. It’s a one-of-a-kind survivor from the golden age of American automobiles, still carrying the fingerprints of one of its original creators.

The phrase “It’s a doozy” is often linked to the legendary Duesenberg name, and this car lives up to that reputation in every sense. Once owned by August “Augie” Duesenberg himself, the Model Y is not just rare, it’s the only one of its kind still in existence.

Back in the 1920s, Duesenberg was at the forefront of automotive innovation, dominating races in both Europe and the United States. After the company was acquired by E.L. Cord in 1926, plans emerged for a powerful new luxury car, the Model Y. Designed in part by famed stylist Alan Leamy, it was intended to be a bold step forward. But the project never reached production and was nearly lost to history.

Instead of being scrapped, the prototype found a second life. In 1932, Augie Duesenberg purchased it for a reported $100. He reworked the car, placing its body onto a different Duesenberg chassis and fitting it with a straight-eight engine. After changing hands over the decades, the car eventually disappeared into a private collection, where it remained hidden for more than 60 years.

Bob Becker first encountered the world of Duesenberg at a club reunion in Auburn, Indiana, about 25 years ago. Instantly captivated, he immersed himself in the marque’s history, eventually becoming president of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club. Then, about a decade ago, he heard rumors that the long-lost Model Y, the very car once owned by Augie, might be coming up for sale.

In 2014, he seized the opportunity.

Unlike many collectors, Becker chose not to fully restore the car. Aside from some essential mechanical work and a new top, he has preserved it almost exactly as it was. To some, it may look like an aging relic. To him, it’s a living artifact, an untouched link to one of the most important chapters in automotive history.
