1935 Duesenberg SJ Gurney-Nutting Speedster

The Speedster body was fitted to chassis number 2614, which is believed to be the last Duesenberg chassis produced in 1935. The body was designed by A. F. McNeil and built by J. Gurney Nutting & Co. Ltd. in the fashionable Chelsea district in London. 

The one-of-a-kind luxury automobile was built for Maharaja Holkar of Indore, India and commissioned through a British sales agent R.S.M Automobiles Ltd of London. 

Destined for a life of royalty, the Gurney Nutting Speedster was built with unique, lavish features including a rumble seat with a concealed fold-down step built into the sides of the body for easy access, as well as red and blue lights on the front fender to indicate whether the Maharaja (red) or Maharani (blue) was driving the vehicle.

Upon its completion, the Duesenberg was delivered to the Maharaja’s mansion in Santa Ana, California due to fears of Japan invading India. After the tension in the region dropped, the automobile was shipped to India, then disappearing over time and thought to be lost until its rediscovery in 1959. 

The outstanding auto was brought back to the U.S., eventually acquired by General Lyon. Restored with all of its royal touches retained, the 1935 Duesenberg placed first in the Maharaja Class at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and will now be showcased at the 2019 La Jolla Concours d’Elegance under the Registered Class: American Classics Open (1920-1948).

Day 4: Ahilyabai Holkar!

Ahilyabai Holkar was born in 1725, during India’s Maratha Empire.  She was the daughter of a village headman, and had a marriage arranged in childhood to the son of a prominent general. Her father had begun her education, and her mother-in-law continued it, teaching her to administer her husband’s future kingdom of Malwa. 

When her husband was killed in battle, a devasted Ahilyabai intended to commit suicide on his funeral pyre, as custom dictated. Her father-in-law begged her not to, as he had already lost his son and couldn’t bear to lose her too; after Ahilyabai relented, he began tutoring her in military strategy. 

She briefly served as regent for her son, Male Rao, but after his death she stepped in as ruler, supported by the army. She quickly put down a rebellion - and then forgave the rebel leader, who remained a loyal advisor thereafter. This set the tone for her reign, a time of peace and prosperity. Ahilyabai dealt out justice, succored the poor, improved the rights of widows, and successfully defended her borders from raiders. 

Ahilyabai died in 1795, after a thirty year reign regarded as Malwa’s golden age. Her subjects, her rivals, and future historians alike hailed her as one of the greatest rulers in the history of India.
