December 11, 201312 yr The '25 Rolls Aero Coupe is a misnomer; the car was originally built as a convertible; it was completely rebodied by a coachbuilder in Belgium in 1934. So while it's bones are Rolls, it's really a customized car. It strikes me because if it WERE built by Rolls in '25, it would be well ahead of its time... and Rolls has NEVER been known to be a styling leader. As it is, (and it is striking, tho I hate the round Hobbit door), it's someone else's vision of a design that Rolls had nothing to do with, and it's 'merely' contemporary rather than leading edge. By rights, it should be called a '34. Always grooved on the Phantom Corsair. Thanks for the pics, dfelt- here's one more I think is worthy (the '69 prototype) :
December 11, 201312 yr Author Lovely Balthazar. Thanks for adding another beauty to the list. Agreed on the Rolls, but then it is what was on the signs. Please everyone, post any other cars you feel deserves to be with this class of cars.
