Here is a beautiful burgundy and silver 1956 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud for sale. This is a very early example that features a straight 6 cylinder engine and a stunning red interior. These cars are the epitome of eloquence. While driving around doing photography and videos for this listing the seller and I could not go anywhere without people coming up to us and expressing their admiration for the car. There are not many other classic cars that command as much respect and appreciation as this '56 Rolls Royce.
The early Silver Clouds had a 6 cylinder engine where as the later examples had a less reliable 8 cylinder version. Not only does the engine in this Rolls Royce Silver Cloud run smoothly, the entire car rides and cruises very comfortably. The brakes are now new as are the tires so this is a very comfortable driving and riding car. Brake jobs for this era Rolls Royce can run upwards of $3000 or more, so this example is a good choice if you are shopping for a Silver Cloud.
Almost unbelievably, this Silver Cloud 1 has been with the same owner since 1986! The owner is a car enthusiast and mechanic so he was quick to give attention to any issue that came up over the years.

This is a Rolls Royce you can simply jump in and drive. It's a great looking luxury car from the '50s that has many features that outshine even cars from today. There is a flashlight in the trunk near the tool kit that plugs in to the dash that works off of the battery! So if a person needs to change their tire at night they can use this light to make the task both simpler and safer. The rear seat features the fold down writing trays and there are mirrors on each side of the car behind the rear seat (one mirror also has a cigaratte lighter). At some point before the current owner got the car the interior material was replaced with either vinyl or naugahyde and this more durable material has held up beautifully. There is no shortage of fun components to keep everyone comfortable, entertained and impressed.
