Boat Tail
A remarkable survivor on display at the Technisches Museum, Sinsheim, Germany, is a 1933 Phantom II, which made its way to the Kenya Tea Company of British East Africa. As the rear wood section of the vehicle was heavily worn, a local shipwright, under the design guidance of Hooper of London, conceived and built a boat tail rear end. The car was donated to the museum in 1999 and has been on display since.
