The Original Silver Ghost
1907 Rolls-Royce Open Drive Limousine
Franklin Mint Precision Model
Excellence, Quality, Luxury
We are doubly excited to present this remarkable 1:24 scale 1907 Rolls-Royce. First, because it marks the beginning of what we feel will be an incredible partnership between the National Motor Museum Mint and the Franklin Mint, producers of the finest 1:24 scale die-cast replicas being made today. Second, because we are able to offer our collectors this exciting Rolls-Royce. In 1906 Henry Royce wanted to replace his Model 30 with a smoother, quieter car. Model 40/50, offered as an Open Drive Limousine, was so popular it was the only style offered by Rolls-Royce for 20 years. Royces success in achieving his goals resulted in the 40/50 quickly being nicknamed the Silver Ghost.
Precision Engineered to Actual Rolls-Royce Specifications
Truly a car for the classes, not for the masses, the 1907 Silver Cloud cost almost $5000, about 10 times what the average professional made at that time. This replica was created from the oldest surviving Silver Cloud originally made for financier Arthur Briggs who helped finance Royces company. It is so detailed and perfect it even comes with lint-free white gloves to handle it. Like Rolls-Royce itself, this $135 masterpiece is not for everyone but is certain to be the most elegant, detailed replica for all who can afford it.
