Hi

Congratulations, you bought an interesting and highly desirable Twelve to restore! The first time you drive that relatively light sedan on the short 1506 chassis, you're going to find it is one very peppy car!

That 473 c.i. '37 Twelve is rated at 175 hp at 3200 rpm, more rpms than you'd ever want to run it for long but more important is the torque: 366 lb/ft at 1400 rpms. At about double an idle, it makes the maximum torque, you'll need a light foot on that accelerator!
