Generally speaking, the trial of this car has confirmed our impression as formed in America, that the Cadillac 16 is a far better model for us to work to in producing a new Rolls-Royce car than the Packard. It has also encouraged us to believe that the SpectreCodename for Phantom III we are about to send to France is not an altogether undesirable automobile.
