Mal,

I am not sure what the history is the on that RHD '26. But I will see if I can track it down. The car appears to be an original survior.

I spoke to another gentleman today who has a 35 or 37 RHD Short Wheel base limo that was ordered and delivered to the Japanese royal family before the war, and came back to the U.S. in the early 60's. It is currently under restoration. It is neat to hear some of the history of these cars.

John,

I too like the '53 Caribs. I also like the '56 Caribs. Which BTW took best of show Post War at the Concours today.
