The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III represented a watershed moment for its manufacturer.
It was still a traditionally crafted luxury automobile with wood-framed bodywork featuring a library’s worth of burled walnut; the engine was reassuringly silent; and the interior was surpassingly comfortable.
The V-8 engine, improved over the previous Silver Cloud II, was the epitome of the Rolls-Royce ideal of gradual refinement of a design.
Yet this model also represented the company’s first nods toward contemporary styling, with quad headlamps, a lowered hood and radiator shell, smaller bumpers, and separate front seats.
This example, chassis LSDW251, originally a four-door saloon, has been converted to a two-door convertible in the style of the exceedingly rare Drophead Coupé Adaptations crafted by Rolls-Royce’s period coachbuilding shop, H.J.
