Dirk Oehlerking has a rich portfolio of cool projects, but there are a few cars that stand out: the White Phantom and Black Phantom — both based on BMW's opposites and equipped with unique self-made body kits in the art Deco style. A third project, Good Ghost, has now been added to these two projects. Dirk had no plans to make a third Phantom. Initially, only one motorcycle was planned, but it is impossible to ignore requests.

Bobby Haas and the Director of his Museum, Stacey Mayfield, asked Dirk about the possibility of making a third Phantom to make a trilogy. The customer demanded that the project is now called Ghost, was in gray and repeated the style of the previous two bikes. From a philosophical point of view, we wanted to make the third project a defender of the first two, that is it, it should be more powerful and faster.
