Until the Silver Cloud debuted in 1955, Rolls-Royce had used external coachbuilders to create the bodywork for its cars. The bodies for the Cloud, however, were constructed in-house. And although it might have looked traditional and old-fashioned, the Cloud was equipped with the latest in automotive technology - including self-levelling suspension, power steering and power-assisted braking.
Committed enthusiasts believe the Phantom HI to be the last 'true' Rolls-Royce. It was the last car worked on by company founder Henry Royce and retained traditional company virtues such as exclusive coachbuilt bodywork and an interior that was a masterpiece of fine craftsmanship, but it was significant for other reasons, too, not least its all-new VI2 engine. Built to compete with successful designs from rivals such as Cadillac and Packard, the 7.3-liter unit was incredibly smooth and refined, while in true Rolls-Royce fashion its power output, estimated by many to be about 160bhp, was kept a closely guarded secret.
