SELLER REMARKS

Despite what you see on TV and in movies, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is still the ultimate display of wealth. Not "just won the lottery" wealth, not "NBA rookie" wealth, but the kind of old-school money that extends back generations. No other car quite delivers the heavy-duty wallet slap that this 1974 Silver Shadow does and you don't have to worry, because we won't tell anyone just how affordable it really is.


Rolls-Royce would have painted your Shadow any color you wanted, but they really preferred subtlety to flash, and this handsome silver Silver Shadow is just the way they liked it. Repainted once just six months ago, it has a brilliant gloss that looks expensive and doesn't hide any bodywork or accident repairs. And as you'd expect from the world's finest automaker, the gaps are tight, the sheetmetal simply FEELS substantial, and the finish work is exemplary. It's not perfect, not after 40 years, but this is still a very impressive motorcar. Nobody else does chrome as well as the British, either, with just the right amount to imply wealth and sophistication without going overboard, so you get a tidy strip along the sides of the body, simple bumpers, and, of course, that towering Rolls-Royce grille shell that is perhaps the most definitive in all of motoring history. No goofy padded roof, no dated 1970s colors, and no questionable repairs make this car an A-list celebrity, even today.


The bright red interior is perhaps a little flashy, but you have to remember that red Connolly leather was prized by motoring enthusiasts as far back as the 1910s. Aside from some light wear on the driver's seat and walnut trim, the interior is in exemplary condition for its age and showcases genuine hand craftsmanship and the finest natural materials in the world. The wool carpets are deeper and plusher than the stuff in your living room and everything that looks like wood really IS wood, all cut from the same tree to ensure uniformity of color and grain. Simple Smiths instruments seem too plain for the car, but their understated functionality is ideal for the no-nonsense Roller. Everything was standard, too, including electric windows and locks, A/C, cruise control, and power seats, which for 1974 was quite a list of features. The original AM/FM radio remains in the dash and is augmented by a hidden Pioneer AM/FM/Sirius head unit, but otherwise it is factory-original and splendidly maintained. Even the trunk is outfitted with plush, expensive carpets that are bound in leather, more proof that good taste knows no boundaries.


The massive "six-and-three-quarter" liter V8 engine was rebuilt less than 2500 miles ago by a noted British car specialist and runs superbly. That can't have been an inexpensive task given the complexity of the machinery, but it does mean that you can enjoy this car without worries. As the saying goes, an inexpensive Rolls-Royce is the most expensive car you can own, so keeping this one in top condition will cost you far less than bringing a broken one back from the dead. In truth, these are truly reliable machines in their own right and the brawny V8 moves the big sedan without apparent effort. The GM-sourced TH400 3-speed automatic transmission is, of course, bulletproof and the fully independent suspension with disc brakes all around gives this 5500-pound luxury sedan rather agile handling. Most importantly, the brakes were converted to DOT3 brake fluid, so no worries about mineral oil replacement in the future, and the underside looks as though it's spent its life someplace warm. Uniroyal whitewall radials have been fitted and the understated hubcaps are the smart choice.


Look like a millionaire for pennies on the dollar, but you may also find that this is a fun car that's quite enjoyable to own if you love to drive. Call today!

Rolls-Royce Wraith convertible planned, SUV rumors kicked to the curb

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Seeing as it adheres to the exotic car template we've known for years, it should surprise no one that the next model from Rolls-Royce will reportedly be a convertible version of the Wraith. When the coupe is on its way to dealers at the end of this year, company CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös has told Autocar that the British luxury marque start applying itself to the convertible.
At no time will they apply themselves to an SUV, though. Still sticking to its brand-value guns, Müller-Ötvös says that an SUV wouldn't have that trademark Rolls-Royce feeling and that such a vehicle hasn't even been discussed. Having heard this before from other brands, we can't help but suspect that one day in the future we'll hear the phrase, "Oh, but this is the Rolls-Royce of SUVs."
The investment in an SUV would also mean a huge investment in the factory at Goodwood, however, since Wraith production is expected to need three shifts and raise levels to near capacity. And forget about building anything from The Spirit of Ecstasy somewhere else, Müller-Ötvös saying, "Rolls-Royces are built in Goodwood."

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
