What history lesson? No, the frame was not stretched. They used Packard's 1904/1907 138" wheelbase frame instead of the nimbler, more rational 127" for such ungainly semi-customs for the look at me crowd. When Walter M. Murphy coachbuilders closed in the Depression depth of 1932, a pair of employees, Chris Bohman and Maurice Schwartz, started doing collision repair for Pasadena auto dealers, then began cobbling outre for Hollywooders, a domestic answer to Figoni et Falaschi, aka "Phony & Flashy" in Paris.
