The body is said to have been refinished in black and features a chrome cormorant hood ornament, chrome bumpers, and chrome bumper guards with red hex mounting bolts. Additional equipment includes Trippe Speedlight driving lamps, a trunk, a rear luggage rack, pontoon fenders with running boards, reverse-hinged rear doors, and side-mounted spare tires with hard covers topped by rearview mirrors.
The car was initially modified by the Derham coach company with a rear sunroof and was retrofitted with a windshield that could be raised ahead of the open sunroof to minimize buffeting in the passenger compartment.
Body-color 16″ steel wheels wear bright trim rings, branded hubcaps, and whitewall tires with matching spares mounted in front fender recesses on both sides. Braking is provided by hydraulic drums.
The rear compartment features gray cloth armchair-upholstered seating with a center armrest and forward-folding padded footrests as well as a two fold-down forward-facing seats and a bulkhead partition with roll-down privacy glass. Additional features include blue carpeting, a Jaeger eight-day windup clock set in the partition above the privacy glass, wood-trimmed windows, pull-down cloth shades, and a trunk-mounted radio with controls in the right armrest.
The driver’s compartment is trimmed in black leather and features a wood-rimmed banjo-style steering wheel that fronts a gray-painted dashboard housing a 100-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for battery, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 60k miles, approximately 100 of which were driven by the selling dealer. Appointments include a deluxe heater/defroster and dual locking gloveboxes as well as a wood shifter knob and window trim.
The 7.8-liter L-head V12 is equipped with a Stromberg EE two-barrel carburetor and was rated at 175 horsepower when new. The engine was reportedly overhauled prior to 1990, and the oil was changed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission.
