1931 Duesenberg Dual Cowl Phaeton (Model J) (Walk- Around)

Looks more like a replica.

The Duesenberg has a 8 cyl straight in line engine, how come then, that there are exhaust pipes on both sides ?

@doerlidoe The SJ's supercharger was located beside the engine; to make room for it, the exhaust pipes were creased so they could be bent easily and extended through the side panel of the hood. These supercharged cars can be recognized by these shiny creased tubes, which Cord registered as a trademark and used in his other supercharged cars from Cord and Auburn.
