The Danbury Mint 1935 Duesenberg SSJ — 1:24 Diecast, Boxed

Step back into the golden age of American motoring with this Danbury Mint 1935 Duesenberg SSJ, a 1:24 scale die-cast masterpiece that captures the audacity and opulence of the Jazz-Age elite. The real SSJ was the stuff of legend—only two were ever built, one for Gary Cooper and another for Clark Gable—each hand-crafted with a 400-horsepower supercharged straight-eight capable of embarrassing Europe’s finest grand tourers.

Danbury Mint’s tribute to this mechanical royalty is a marvel in miniature. The hood lifts to reveal a superbly detailed green Lycoming engine, complete with chromed exhaust manifolds and period-accurate carburetor linkages. Opening doors reveal a hand-finished interior with wood-tone dash, steering linkage, and seat patterning faithful to the 1930s original. Even the wire wheels, whitewall tires, and fender-mounted spare echo the real car’s commanding stance.

Every line, from the sweeping fenders to the chrome waterfall grille, was precision-engineered to museum standards. Danbury Mint’s die-cast line set the benchmark for realism in collectible models — metal construction, functional mechanics, and accuracy down to the radiator cap. Presented maker marked on the underside and accompanied by its original Danbury Mint box and packaging, this is not just a display piece — it’s a conversation with automotive history.
