Daimler DE-36<\/h1>\n

The 147-inch wheelbase Daimler DE-36 chassis was powered by a 150hp straight-eight displacing 5460cc (5.4L). The large, silky smooth engine was coupled to a Daimler Fluid Flywheel transmission, controlled by a pre-selector mechanism. Factory documents indicate as many as 216 DE-36 chassis were built, with the final units being dispatched in 1953.<\/span><\/p>\n

As would be expected, the lengthy DE-36 chassis were most often fitted with heavy, formal limousine coachwork. Delightful exceptions to the rule were the six magnificent DE-36 drop-head coupes created by Hooper’s in the style of Sir Bernard’s prototypical 1948 show car. Although delivered in various colors, all of the Hooper DE-36 drop-heads are popularly known today as Green Goddesses.<\/p>\n

1948 Daimler DE-36 ‘Green Goddess’ Hooper Drop-Head Coupe 52802<\/a> – sold for $502,000<\/p>\n

\n

This marvelous and immense automobile is the third of just seven Daimler DE-36 Hooper-bodied ‘Green Goddess’ drop-head coupes built between 1948 and 1953. More than 20 feet long and just under 80 inches wide, the super-sized drop-top weighs more than three tons. Beautifully streamlined and sumptuously appointed, the Daimler DE 36 drop-head ranks, both in size and prestige, among the most prominent automobiles ever constructed.\u00a0Auction Source: <\/b>Bonhams 2010 Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
