Franklin Mint 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Cabriolet De Ville

The 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Cabriolet De Ville was the company's response to the ennui that was beginning to set in after seventeen years of the Silver Ghost. This powerful, luxurious, technically advanced automobile served to renew the public's enthusiasm for Rolls' products.

This is the corrected version of the Phantom I repaint. The main change is in the silver wheel color which reflects what would have been silver paint on the original. Also the RR badge is black rather than the more usual red. The badge is historically correct, the background color having been altered to mourn the passing of an important member from the company family.

The issue price is $135. (09/06/2000)
