In 1955, the long-awaited Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and its sibling, the Bentley “S” model, were introduced.
Vastly different from the former models, the Silver Dawn and R-Type, the Silver Cloud I was the last series to be powered by the ever-reliable inline six-cylinder F-head engine.
The new standard steel saloon was delightfully proportioned, elegant, and cost far less than a coachbuilt car, and thus, outsold those coachbuilt examples 100 to one.
Early Silver Cloud I engine compression ratio was 6.6:1, but later Silver Cloud I models, and all models built for the North American market, such as this rare example, were built with an 8:1 ratio.
This was the final configuration of the torquey, smooth, and powerful six-cylinder inline engine originally fitted to the venerable Silver Ghost.
The General Motors Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, now standard with the Silver Cloud, was extremely well built, reliable, and was married to a servo-boost system to enhance braking.
