Previous owner, Dr. Juan Hughes, saying goodbye to 3DL170 on 29 February, 2004.

Previous owner (from 1955-1971), Ann Klein with present owner Matt Boyd.  Picture taken May 2004.

The purpose of these pages is to document the restoration and ownership experience of 3DL170, a 1938 Hooper bodied, 6 light limousine Phantom III (40/50 HP).  These pages are mainly for my archives, but perhaps they will be interesting and/or useful to someone else as well.  If you have any comments/encouragements, feel free to send me an email at matt@mattboyd.org.

What is a Phantom III? (this page to be written eventually, but for now, consider the fact that this model produced from 1935-1938 is the only automobile V12 engine the company produced until 1998).

What is the goal of the restoration?

History of the car (thanks to Steve Stuckey for providing this history)
