    I don't recall the vin number on this car but there is a thread on it here. The car is located a few miles from my house so I've seen it on the road from a distance.

    VIN:C5681083 or 1083. Check out the videos on this forum. Looks much better in black. John

    Yes, this is Gene Epstein's Continental Derham Victoria Mark II. Derham was a custom coachbuilder in Rosemount, PA from 1887 to 1971. They produced some custom Mark IIs that had this large extension (which also provided more trunk space). Obviously, they started with a production Mark II and made a number of modifications.

    The B pillar on this car is actually spot on to the first generation with the large blind spot.

    I can't find the other posts. Is there any documentation on the Derham build? I've seen one other Mark II in the Carmel California area with a padded vinyl top and a Derham badge but no formal documentation.

    Use the forum search box in the upper right hand corner. Put in the last four of the VIN (1083). Click the magnify
