 The model experienced various delays going from prototype to production. Deliveries to dealers did not start until December 1921. Sales lagged and the goal of building 100 Duesenbergs each month proved far too high, as the Indianapolis plant struggled to roll out one a day.

Each simulation turn represents a period of 28 to 31 days, depending on the month. The company generates detailed reports—monthly, quarterly, and annual—that provide insights into various departments and financial metrics. Among these is the Summary Expense Report, which tracks both historical profits and current operational activities.
