Cool car then and now 

Pilgrim65, this is an experimental ZIS-Sport car, produced in the USSR in 1939. It had a 6-liter 8-cylinder engine with 141 hp. Top speed 100 mph. One such car was produced, its fate is unknown.

Sadovich was a very active dealer of Duesenbergs in Paris. He always made sure as many cars as possible got good press coverage in all the car periodicals in France such as La Carrossiere, Omnia , La Vie Automobile , Le Equipment . Not sure what connection he had developed with the A-C- D Company in Indiana , but it obviously was a good one and he was well known by coach builders in both France and England. I believe he even had a sales piece published in France on Duesenberg specifically. I have seen it and may even have one here someplace.  Sadovich would also make sure that there was a Duesenberg at the annual Salon in Paris and the concours in Monte Carlo and near Paris. The cars received good press at these highly acclaimed social events for the rich and famous and wannabes.

I'm interested in what kind of car is on the photo. Obviously this is transformable cabriolet Hibbard-Darrin. There were 4 such cars produced: J-195, J-254, J-319 and J-361. Which one is in the photo?

This looks to me like the Duesenberg Weymann Tapertail J437.   Based on where the photo was found and the Kodak Velox paper, likely taken at some car meet in the 1950's.  Auburn maybe?   You know, that car probably didn't get much attention, they had to add a big arrow stripe along the body accent line to make it stand out a little more !

"A former owner in the early Fifties tried out a novel decorating scheme on this car. The cutaway fenders were an even earlier redo".

A few more cropped shots from the same event...

This is not J-183. Note the outline of the roof and the location of the door handles.

Definitely a Duesenberg Model J.

 

Low windshield is unique.    Similar to J-183 with Derham body that was delivered new to Edwin Corning.   Difference being the car  in your pictures has center hung doors.

Did Jimmy Walker actually own the car?  I don't see any obvious records of that.

 

Walker has Murphy town car: http://www.duesey2208.com/Datasheets/Model_J_Index/frm2362.htm.

Here's a better look at that Duesenberg J town car:

Any guesses who the coach-builder was?  

I think the car has Kellner body, https://www.facebook.com/1571494676492523/posts/1780961262212529/?app=fbl
