1925/34 Rolls-Royce

Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe

 

by Joncheeere

 

The exotic "round door" Rolls Royce was delivered new in 1925. In 1934 a subsequent owner setn the car to Jonchkeere of Belgium to be fitted with fashionably aerodynamic coachwork complete with twin sunroofs, round doors, a large fin, and a sloping radiator shell.

 

Once incorrectly thought to have belonged to the Duke of Windsor, the car was discovered in New Jersey in the early 50s in near-derelict condition. Enthusiast Max Obie acquired the unusual Rolls-Royce, had it painted gold, and charged curious individuals for a look at it.
