I keenly remember the opening credits of Dynasty in which the protagonist Blake Carrington is chauffeured up a gorgeous driveway to a fabulous estate in a pristine black towncar. What is remarkable? I still love those cars today, thirty or so years later.
In my opinion, in the world of classic towncars there are only two worthy of mention. Those are Rolls-Royce and Bentley. This post explores the Rolls.
Rolls-Royce
I love Rolls Royce. Ever since the inception of this iconic automobile in 1904, the Rolls-Royce has been a car of beauty, luxury, and fantastic detail. Note the leather seats, exquisite lines; the beautiful headlights. This car set itself apart from day one.
1905 Model
This specific model, the 1907 40/50 Chassis #60551, is one of the most expensive cars in the world, insured for over 50 million. Looking at this absolutely fantastic car, I certainly understand why.
A favorite site of mine, Classic Cars, is a hub for incredible vintage cars. This beauty unfortunately just sold. 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

My personal preference in regard to Rolls-Royce were the models created in the 1960s. I love the vintage appeal of its appearance.
Of the 1960s designs, I have to say I find the 1964-1965 Silver Cloud Series sublime.

An iconic Rolls of this era belonged to The Beetles' John Lennon. Lennon created a moving piece of art by painting his 1965 Phantom V in a psychedelic design.
The Rolls-Royce Limousine is also a beautiful option when planning a vintage or classically refined wedding. This gorgeous 1956 Silver Cloud, available for rent at Losangeleslimousineservices.net, exemplifies the idea of class.
Gorgeous interior.
Finally, the beautiful Rolls-Royce 1930 Packard. This car, the Custom Eight, was previously owned by Robert Gottlieb, who coined the phrase "classic car" for the first time in Motor Trend Magazine during the 1950s.
