28. 1935 Duesenberg SSJ
Despite being on the market for only 24 years, from 1913 to 1937, Duesenberg left an everlasting mark on the global car industry thanks to this vehicle. This brand was so fantastic that even today, 80 years since it was gone, people still recognize the name and the legacy. Affectionately called “Duesy,” Duesenberg was responsible for some of the greatest American-made cars.

The idea behind the brand was to offer luxury cars with powerful engines and uncompromising performance. Duesenberg had the performance, and the hearts of most models were fantastic straight-eight engines that were hand-built and very fast for the day. The SSJ models had supercharged engines with 320 HP. This was an insane number in 1930 as a result. That’s why this model sold for $22 million recently (via Supercars).
