The Duesenberg (Interior)

The Duesenberg's interior—a bullet-riddled, convertible luxury sedan—serves as a chaotic refuge during Indiana Jones, Willie Scott, and Short Round's escape through Shanghai. After a rooftop crash landing, the cramped backseat becomes a disoriented sanctuary where the trio regroups: Willie sits dazed, Indy barks orders to Short Round at the wheel, and the car's shredded convertible top flutters wildly in the wind. The space, filled with ripped fabric and debris, becomes a fleeting haven where grief over Wu Han mixes with desperate plans for Siam plane tickets and vows of loyalty. This same vehicle later appears as the 'backseat of the Duesenberg' where Indy and Willie first land after their plummet through Shanghai's night, creating a continuous narrative thread of their escape.
