For Sale at Auction: 1967 Daimler Limo in Scottsdale, Arizona
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. **TITLED AS 1967 DAIM
