Re: Work on the 1953 Derham Formal

Hi Don

Derham's bread and butter in the postwar years came primarily from applying padded formal top treatments to a variety of production sedans. A black luxury car with a tan/camel-colored padded roof treatment became something of their trademark. They performed more extensive modifications to a limited number of cars such as 'hardtop-ing' a few limousines and some prototype building.

A number of Cadillac 60 Specials and 75 limousines, Lincoln Cosmopolitans and Capris, Continental Mark II's, Crown Imperials and even Buick Roadmasters survive with their work.

Check out the site coachbuilt.com for their history.
