8. Duesenberg SJ

The Duesenberg SJ is one of the truly unique power cars built in the late 1920’s and 1930s. The automobile is extremely large, and featured some of the most cutting edge technology found in the automobile industry in the pre-World War 2 timeframe making driving one of the models left in working condition a must before you die. The car weighs more than 2.5 tons and it features a 6.9 liter, straight eight engine with a 6.9 liter size. The SJ model was built in 1932 when supercharging the engine was introduced by the manufacturer, and the engine power rating increased from 265 to 320 horsepower as a result. There were not a large number of Duesenberg SJs produced; however, many that were produced are still in drivable condition if you can locate one to drive to check off the bucket list.
