1923 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost
01
Artifact Overview
Self-taught engineer Henry Royce wanted to build exceptional motor cars, and dealer Charles Rolls sought to sell them in his London showroom. Their partnership, formed in 1904, led to the six-cylinder Silver Ghost of 1907, which British magazine Autocar proclaimed "the best car in the world." Rolls-Royce aimed for nothing less, and the Silver Ghost remained in production until 1926.
