where is this now?

Are those general jumbo's? I think there are 3 or 4 known coupes. There was a guy on the forum with one. The red one was sold a couple of times at the Hershey auction. One of the Hupp guys on the forum had the remains of a convertible coupe.

I believe Duane Perrin owns the lone 8 cylinder car with radiator shutters. They moved the radiator forward 1.5 inches and lengthened the hoods (ala Duesenberg) to accomplish it.

I just scanned this because we are trying to figure out if the radiator emblem has paint in the letters. Certified to be pre WWII and never published.

Bob, the Byrd auction had a SS, not a 540k.

"L" and "K" are right next to each other on the keyboard. I'll bet he doesn't even know what you are saying. I read it three times before I even picked up on it.

From Hemmings: Any Rolls-Royce is bound to be a spectacular car in and of itself, but due to their prestige and exclusivity, they all tended to stand the test of time, so it often takes something special to make one stand out from the crowd of other Rolls-Royces at shows and gatherings. This 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom I for sale on Hemmings.com stands out for its Dinsdale coachwork, to some, but to a broader audience its original owner may ring a few more bells. From the seller's description: 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom One, chassis number S86PM. LHD by Brewster. This car was a special order for Mrs A Busch and was delivered to her May 28, 1927, in St. Louis, MO. The body style of this car is special 7p enclosed drive limo. It has the sliding division, skeleton trim in the front, and the jump seats; this makes it Dinsdale Coachwork and that makes it super rare. This is a barn find that has only two owners since new, this is a very original Rolls-Royce and the body is in super condition; the doors and fittings are just perfect, the interior is all original and looks very good, the engine turns freely and wouldnt take much to put her back on the road.

It is a 540k Special Roadster. Here it is in 1962 pictured in the CCCA magazine.

Marmon?

Those 32 Nash Advanced and Ambassadors are very cool.

There are next to zero photos of the E and F series Duponts. And only photos of the dual cowl model H, not the other 2 that were built. 99% of the photos are of the Model G.

And BTW, I'm digging in to my personal unpublished archive while you are sitting back there being Mr. Google. You are sitting on some unseen stuff that you could scan and post for us while we are sheltering in place.

From the 1933 Motor Annual, colors look like the beige car.

I assume you mean the picture and not the car. A real SSK like that is a 30-40 million dollar car.

Would rather see the 8 cylinder Hupp than the 48 Town and Country. This is from the 33 Motor Annual and show the complete line. I tried to buy one of the very few convertible coupes 10 years ago. I think there is 2 or 3 floating around. The 3 window brought really good money (like 100k).

I posted this in the Lincoln thread, but a coachbuilt Lebaron that doesn't exist anymore as far as I know.

I think that he is looking to see if there is actually a transmission under there. I believe the first show cars were shipped without them?

Was it restored to a dark color? I would take that over a Darrin, since there is only one. Pretty cool.

You won't find this one on the web either, unless there were multiple prints 70 years ago.

And one at the race track.

A couple more of my Stutz which I've posted before.

I’m a total poser but my main box has only snap on in it.

It is on the shorter CH chassis. Special built for Walter P. Chrysler.

For some reason there needed to be someone inside the car along with the usual guy on each side.
