The re-creation bodywork was designed to fit the 144”-wheelbase chassis of later Silver Ghosts instead of the shorter wheelbase of early models like the original balloon car, while the updated-style taller radiator was also retained. The body and fenders are finished in white with maroon and gold accents, while the cowl and hood are constructed from exposed riveted aluminum panels. Features include CAV electric headlights, cowl-mounted Lucas King of the Road oil lamps, lantern-style electric taillamps, a fold-down windshield, wood running boards hosting storage boxes, and a white convertible top with maroon accents. One of the hood bows was replaced in 2018, and turn signals were added in 2024. A balloon basket is included in the sale, as is a removable aluminum rack that can be mounted over the rear deck.
