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. **TITLED AS 1967 DAIM UNKNOWN**
