1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I

"Why Not"

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was the core model of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars range from April 1955 until March 1966. It replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. As part of a range rationalisation it is very similar, apart from the radiator, to the Bentley S1. The design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. The main design work was by J. P. Blatchley. Our 1957 Silver Cloud I is nicknamed "Why Not" because of the English vanity license plate on the back that actually reads: "Why Not".
