The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1969 Rolls Royce Silver
Shadow. The design was a major departure from its predecessor, the
Silver Cloud, and aside from a more modern appearance, the Silver
Shadow introduced many new features such as disc rather than drum
brakes, monocoque construction, and independent rear suspension,
rather than the outdated live axle design of previous cars. The
Shadow featured a 172 hp 6.2 L V8 from 1965 to 1969, and a 189 hp
6.75 L V8 from 1970 to 1980. Both powerplants were coupled to a
General Motors-sourced Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmission, except on
pre-1970 right-hand-drive models, which used the same 4-speed
automatic gearbox as the Silver Cloud. The car's most innovative
feature was a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citro�n,
with dual-circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension.
At first, both the front and rear of the car were controlled by the
system; the front levelling was deleted in 1969 as it had been
determined that the rear levelling did almost all the work. With
this arrangement, Rolls-Royce achieved a high degree of ride
quality. Options include: AC, AM/FM radio, power windows, power
steering, power brakes, leather interior, and seat belts, To view
