Roadster Coachwork: Fleetwood Chassis Num: 703118   Sold for $418,000 at 2010 RM Auctions. This Fleetwood bodied V-16 Roadster was given a restoration in the mid-1990s. It is finished in two-tone brown with light brown wire wheels, a tan canvas top, and dark tan leather inetioer. The odometer indicates 38 miles, which appears consistent with mileage since restoration.

The car resided in the Craven Collection in Toronto for many years. Upon the disposition of the Craven collection, the car was purchased by well known CCCA member Ray Bowersox, who commissioned a full professional quality restoration in 1995/6. Later, in March of 1997, Bowersox sold the car to a St. Louis collector named John Berra. The car was purchased on November 11th of 2004 by George Westmoreland via dealer Mark Hyman. In June of 2005, at the Leake auction in Tulsa, the car was purchased by John O'Quinn. In 2010, this car was offered for sale at RM Auctions 'Automobiles of Amelia Island' event, where it was estimated to sell for $350,000 - $450,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $418,000, inclusive of buyer's premium. By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2010
