A pitch-black royal looker
Damn, this one could have rolled over the opposition very easily.
Sporting a 7.7L engine and the looks to drool for, this year’s Los Angeles Concours d’Elegance poster car is the 82-year-old Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe. This black beauty showed no ill effects of almost century-long service, as it never failed to turn heads 360 degrees.
Originally delivered to its owner wearing a more humble Hooper Cabriolet body in 1925, it was sold to the Raja of Nanpara soon after. It changed hands again but stayed in England until 1934, when another owner sent it to Belgium to be re-bodied by Carrossier Jonckheere.
It was aerodynamically absurd on the rear, but still managed to retain her royal looks up front.
Hmmmmm… I think I saw a similar coupe in Gotham.
