For Sale at Auction: 1967 Daimler Limo in Scottsdale, Arizona

Vehicle Description

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**
