GarageScout Take

This 1931 Phantom I offers a significant history with its Hibbard & Darrin coachwork and association to Reed A. Albee.

Strengths

  • Original Springfield-built 40/50 New Phantom platform example.
  • Rare Hibbard & Darrin coachwork, one of only 35 on this platform.
  • Documented association with first owner Reed A. Albee.
  • Restoration completed over a decade, showing long-term care.
  • Shown at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

Watch For

  • Repainted in lavender and mauve during a later cosmetic refresh, diverging from original finish.
  • Conversion from Imperial Cabriolet to town car by Brewster represents a significant change from original body style.
