The front spring set up on 33-EX is comparable with the rest of our Exptl. Phantom III cars. We give below the height taken from the ground to the top of the radiator shell on - Lower buffer clearance. N.S. O.S. 33-EX - 50.625" - 1.625" 1.625" 36-EX - 50.125" - 1.250" 1.312" 37-EX - 50.375" - 1.375" 1.250" Present Production - 51.875" - 2.375" 2.375" Buffer clearances were checked minus passengers.
