| (sheet 2) that as no advantage has been found in riding comfort on the test of the longer wheelbase Phantom III, it would be possible to shorten the Wraith wheelbase 4" without interfering with riding comfort, and thereby retain the 25/30 relationship between the rear seat cushion and axle, still maintaining the 2" more room in the limousine body.
