This 1967 Daimler DS420 limousine was custom-built for the
legendary and enigmatic industrialist, aviator and filmmaker Howard
Hughes. The Hughes build specifications include a centrally mounted
rear bucket seat specifically requested to reduce motion sickness
during his long, private drives. It also features a
factory-installed air filtration system that was an advanced system
for its time, designed to eliminate airborne contaminants,
reflecting Hughes's famous health concerns. A built-in toilet was
discreetly integrated into the coachwork, allowing for
uninterrupted travel and complete privacy. This limousine is
powered by the robust Jaguar 4.2-liter inline-6 engine, producing
245hp through a smooth BorgWarner automatic transmission. It
features four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc
brakes. All instruments, clocks and lights are operational, as is
the soundproof electric privacy glass dividing the driver and
passenger. It has received a recent tune-up, fluid change and new
brake pads, ensuring it drives with the power and grace intended by
its designers. Verified as one of only two left-hand drive,
U.S.-spec DS420s ever built, this vehicle was uniquely modified to
Hughes's exacting and personal demands. The winning bidder will
have the satisfaction of knowing that the proceeds of this sale
will go directly to Arizona Charity For Therapy, supporting special
needs children, their families, and the therapists dedicated to
their care. **TITLED AS 1967 DAIM UNKNOWN**
