You've spelled ecstasy incorrectly my dear.

Charles R Sykes would have been mortified.

Looks like a silver dawn...1949-1955

You're correct, it's a 1954, nice Google work.

Silver Dawn, I thought names were spelled with capital letters.

How dare you.

RR is in the DNA of every person born in our green and pleasant land!

Capital letters???? Now you're just being picky!

Let me guess. Due to the fact the car has a lady with wings, chin up and out, and slightly bent over; and due to the fact it sports the letters RR...it must be a RumpRoaster76!

The model for those castings was a woman named Eleanor Thornton I beleive.

I am a big Rolls Royce fan!

Very nice photos Leo.

I was estimating 1934. (way off)

I guessed early 40's....way off too.

It's funny thinking back a little. We used to have a RR dealer here until the early/mid 80's

Population was about 80-90K then. Long gone though, and never to return.
