THE RAREST ROLLS ROYCE IN THE WORLD | ROUND DOOR ROLLS ROYCE

#rollsroyce One vehicle in the collection of the Petersen Automotive Museum epitomizes the prewar art deco school of design and, in its day, won acclaim at automotive beauty contests throughout France. An unlikely combination of extravagant European coachwork on a conservative British chassis, the car was a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I with a body built in 1934 by Jonckheere of Belgium. Like all other prewar Rolls-Royce motorcars, this Phantom I was delivered new in chassis-only form to a coachbuilder. Hooper & Co. was the chosen body maker and in 1925 the completed vehicle was delivered with cabriolet coachwork to its first owner, Mrs. Hugh Dillman, the former Anna Thompson Dodge who was widowed by her previous husband, automobile pioneer Horace Dodge, leaving her one of the world’s wealthiest women.
