Details Coming Soon!! 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Limousine by
Park Ward Every Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith chassis produced between
1946 and 1959 was fitted with custom coachwork by some of the
finest shops, on a platform that in typical Rolls-Royce fashion
enjoyed constant gentle evolution of its specifications. Chassis
number FLW7, the Silver Wraith offered here, was equipped with an
automatic transmission and bodied by Park Ward to its popular
design number 704, an imposing formal limousine, with its rather
traditional design lightened by beautifully crowned, deeply skirted
fenders and a swept tail. It was originally delivered in October
1956 to none other than Rolls-Royce Ltd. itself, with the build
sheet noting Company CarDerby Transport Department, and Lawrence
Daltons Rolls-Royce: The Classic Elegance recording its assignment
to the Aero (engine) Division. Further records note ex-demonstrator
car, and that it was apparently turned into Car Mart, Ltd. of
London for sale in 1961. In 1976 the car appeared on the other side
of the Atlantic, owned by James H. Selway of York, Pennsylvania. It
would be recorded in his ownership with the Rolls-Royce Owners Club
through 1993. Afterward it appears to have remained in York, owned
by John L. Finlayson, who listed it with the Rolls-Royce Owners
Club from 2004 to 2016. Today the car remains in good
driver-quality condition throughout, with some age visible to the
finishes, which have been selectively redone over time. The front
seat was recently reupholstered in correct color-dyed leather, with
the balance of the interior remaining original. It is accompanied
by a decanter set for its cocktail compartment, most of its large
tools, spare wheel/tire, and jack. For more information and
