In anyone’s language the 1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost of Rex Vincent is an imposing motor car. Yes, at over 17-feet it’s quite large, and there is plenty of brass along with many other fittings to admire, but when it’s all together the car just commands attention through its stature. It’s that sort of car, and getting behind the wheel and looking over that famous radiator you feel as if you are in charge of not only the car, but also the road.
First produced in 1906, the Silver Ghost, or the Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp as it was first called, was the model that put the fledgling English company on the automotive map. It would go on to be called the “Best car in the world!” A term coined not by Rolls-Royce, but in 1907 by the famed UK publication Autocar.
