Sammy Davis Jr was given a Duesenberg replica by the owner of Harrah's resorts and casinos. It was built in 1971 by the Duesenberg Corporation of Gardena, California, and patterned after a 1935 Duesenberg SSJ, using templates from the original 1935 SSJ La Grande body. Thank you George

Road & Track magazine founder John Bond featured the Miller SSJ in the magazine’s February 1971 issue and called it “the best replica yet,” a significant endorsement from one of America’s most respected automotive publications.

The car was purchased new by Harrah’s in 1972 through legendary Duesenberg dealer Leo Gephart and made available to Sammy Davis Jr. during his frequent performing engagements at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe and Reno. The title was later formally transferred to Davis as his personal car.

Instead of sourcing a '35 engine from a Duesy, they went with a Mopar 383 and 727 trans, and added a centrifugal supercharger.

The chassis was a Dodge truck
