Rolls Royce that never was...

[F93]

So I was meandering around the web the other day and found these images of a supposed 1930s Rolls Royce concept cabriolet that never made it to production.








I think it's one the better looking concept cars, especially for the 30s (if it is from the 30s, could be 50s I suppose). Sadly there wasn't much info about it, but certainly looks much better than that hideous Phantom of today.

Well I personally think it's a bit uggo but with those retractable headlights I can forgive it anything!

At the time there would have been no 'concept' or 'production' RRs. One would purchase the chassis and have your coachbuilder of choice clothe it.

Looks more like a modern take on 30's styling to me.

I agree, they could never have manufactured a windscreen minus frame then. also the body curves were just beyond production capabilities of the ers.

A great looking car all the same. Oh, and the plates are US.

Think it has an element of cool, but that windscreen?...disaster!

It's the Rolls-Royce Phantom III Labourdette Vutotal Cabriolet.
