Continental Phantom. The improved wells in the rear of the car to provide seating accommodation for the rear passengers is fitted up on 27-EX. car. This car also has the independent front wheel springing. It has taken longer than we thought to get suitable wings in order to cover up the front of the car so that the independent springing will not be conspicuous. We expect however to have the car on the road next week and it may be possible in about ten days time to show you the car so that you can appreciate the improvement in the seating accommodation.
