i’ve never been to this auction, but it seems like there’s always interesting stuff being sold at it. This is a fabulous looking car. Has anybody seen it or does anybody have any knowledgeable commentary on it? I’m trying to think if I’ve seen other larger American platforms with this coach builder and nothings jumping to mind.

I was at the museum in July; the Locke convertible phaeton was beautiful.  It was one of my favorite cars in the museum.  Here are pictures I took:

Great pictures of a fabulous car! Thanks for sharing these with us! I was in that museum about 18 months ago, but don’t remember seeing the car.

I noticed it was back up on Hemmings a couple of days ago at 39.5K.  Not sure what the pathway forward might be for that car.  

Needs to go back on a AJS /AMS series chassis.  The problem is they made a total of 125 of those.  A reminder of what it is supposed to look like:

On the Phantom I chassis with the white roof area and the lack of wheel discs the car looks totally awkward  like it took a deep breath and forgot to exhale.......................
