Silver Wraith 1940s-1950s

What is your favourite car of all time?

The custom-bodied Rolls-Royce series of the post-war years, the Silver Wraith continued a famous name from the 1930s. Rolls Royce built the chassis, which was essentially a stretched-wheelbase version (127 or 133 inches) of the Silver Dawn/Bentley Mark VI platform, with the same suspension design and drive-trains. Bodywork was supplied by traditional R-R specialists - Park Ward, HJ Mulliner, Hooper and others, most with wood framing and light-alloy or steel panels. Many Silver Wraiths had classic lines, with freestanding headlamps, separate front wings, divisions between passengers and chauffeur and the characteristic Rolls Royce Parthenon grille.
