Nowadays, it’s not necessarily a headline grabber if a Duesenberg makes a million bucks at auction, and there are a couple dozen “auctions of a lifetime” every year. Not so in 1985, when Harrah’s conducted the next-to-last of their liquidation sales and Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino’s Pizza, bought a 1929 Duesenberg Model J Murphy for a cool $1 million. Dave Brownell covered the auction for SIA #91, February 1986, and came back with this report on not just the Duesenberg, but also on a number of other unique and noteworthy cars that sold at the auction.
