I have for sale this nice 1977 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow purchased in Florida around 10 years ago. The body is in nice condition, it does have a small dent and scratch on the driver's rear panel (see picture). (damaged caused by 92 year old driver backing into barn who's license was taken away for medical reasons). Seller's daughter had her son cut a brake line so her father would not drive the car, he did, and caused the damage to the fender, thereby, resulting in the car being sold. I test drove the car for my father prior to purchase, it runs and drives fine. All the car needed was the brake line replaced. The interior shows typical wear and exposure to the Florida sun, leather is cracked and the driver's seat back panel on the left side is cracked open. The rest of the interior is shown in the photos. The truck lid paint is not two toned, that is water streaks from taking the cover off. The car runs and drives well, mechanic states it should have a tune up because this car was not driven much since it was purchased by the 92 year owner. It does have the usual RR exhaust leak, however, the exhaust does not look like it is broken, possibly a gasket under the car somewhere. The Michelin Tires are in nice shape, chrome is nice, headliner in good condition. The Rolls is a nice starter car or candidate for restoration if you want a very nice car in the end. This car is a nice daily driver with a few dollars invested. My father purchased the car last year, since then, my dad has passed, so now I am selling the car... I found out from his friends that his dream was to have a nice looking blonde from Hooters sit in the back seat of the Rolls wearing only a mink coat, nothing else... Keep dreaming.. I have the opened signed title, ready for the "NEW" owner's signature. The Rolls shows a recent N.Y.S. Inspection indicating that it passed all safety requirements for this state... Beyond what I have told you, I do not know very much else, the car has been sitting on a plastic cover and has a car cover on it in my yard, Dad, never drove the car. I also have another of his Rolls (1979 Silver Shadow) to sell after I sell this 1977 black Rolls. Call Joe at 585-797-7613 from 12 noon until 11:00 PM daily ONLY....

Rolls-Royce rolls out one-off Ghost Golden Sunbird in China
Thu, 19 Sep 2013In 2001, archeologists in the palace city of Chengdu, China, uncovered the Golden Sun Bird, an ancient artifact that dates back to the Shang Dynasty from 1000 BC. The disc depicts the sun and is made of almost solid gold, measuring five inches across and weighing 20 grams. The city adopted it as its logo, and now Rolls-Royce has commemorated the find and the heritage behind it with a unique one-off.
Based on the long-wheelbase version of the Ghost, the Golden Sunbird edition features a two-tone white and gold paint scheme, with gold coachline and gold grille topped by a gold Spirit of Ecstasy. The interior has likewise been gilded with gold embroidery atop the light brown leather and white trim to match the coachwork.
The result may be elegant but is certainly not subtle. And of course it's just the latest in a long line of special editions and one-offs Rolls-Royce has crafted, particularly for markets in the Middle and Far East.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
