100 years old and still classy

1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 coupe with round doors...

That was radical back then. And sort of radical today.

I should post the rear view that shows the single centrally located fin. Note the windows in the door, split in the center and roll down away from each other.

For being designed in 1925, this would look like a space ship gliding down the street. It's a wild design, and they were already thinking of aerodynamics. The original finish was gold, but the black is much more suited to it.

The car was rebooted in 1934 by Jonckheere in Belgium. Those crazy Belgians!

Let’s slip an LS into it, airbags, modern suspension, and some other things. Like Boyd Cottington used to say, “Anybody can restore a car. It takes a real man to cut up a vintage car and customize it” or something like that…

She doesn't look a day over 40....

my favorite of that era

Bugatti Aerolithe Coupe (and yes, I've watched the Canadian company build one from scratch)
