This Hooper Body Limousine was purchased and used by Josephine Banks Lennox Marshall when she was residing at 6 Grosvenor Square in Mayfair, London. The car was originally cobalt blue and black, but was changed to all black by one of its subsequent owners. Josephine was very active in the New York and London social circles. The November 30, 1932 "Times" listed her as one of the attendees at Countess Cromer's "Radiant Ball," and, during the American Gilded Age, she and her husband, Charles Henry Marshall, were included as two of the 400 persons that attended parties in Mrs. Astor's New York City ballroom. She returned to New York in 1933.
It is still a mystery as to when her car was brought to the United States. In 2015, it was found in a barn where it had been stored with a disassembled engine for 18 years. The engine has been reassembled and the car has been rewired with original colored wiring from FEIN's. The car has run at a top speed of 47 mph.
