Historical records indicate the production of 21 Regents on the Phantom I chassis. Due to their relative rarity and the evident incorporation of aerodynamic trends anticipated in later eras, collectors highly prize these cars. Notably, the front wings extended forward resembling blades akin to the renowned Derby Speedsters, with the front dumb irons, springs, and chassis discreetly concealed behind valances. Enhancing the overall effect, twin flat bars at the front and rear served as exceptionally stylish bumpers.
