A 1935 Duesenberg SSJ Special Speedster previously owned by Clark Gable wins Best of Show at the 75th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach, California, according to multiple reports. The car is described as a notable example of the era’s collector-automobile history and takes the top prize among a large field of entrants.
The event is presented as the Concours d’Elegance’s 75th edition and includes a major charitable component. PR Newswire highlights that total charitable donations tied to the Pebble Beach Concours program surpass $50 million, while Jalopnik focuses on the competition results inside the judging field.
Jalopnik reports that more than 200 cars compete, and that the Duesenberg is selected over specific high-profile contenders, including a 1938 Delahaye and two Ferrari 375s. Across outlets, the central points remain the same: the Gable-linked Duesenberg SSJ Special Speedster is awarded Best of Show at the milestone Pebble Beach event.
