    1938 Bentley 4¼-LiterThis car is one of 1241 4 1/4 Liter Bentley's built between 1936 and 1939. It sold for $7,200.

    The body, like all Bentley bodies were custom built, this one by Park-Ward. This construction has the front doors hinged at the front and the rear doors hinged at the rear and no column where they meet.

    The chassis is all steel and carries a six cylinder in-line overhead cam engine with 4,257 cc, 12 volt electrical system, electric fuel pump, twin S-U Carburetors and servo assisted four wheel mechanical brakes.

    Unusual features include foot pedal operated centralized lube system, sliding sun roof and shock absorbers with adjustable pressure and a 4-speed transmission.

    The current owner acquired the car in 1969.
