Guest Gary Hearn Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I wonder if they were descendants of Cyrus McCormick? International Harvester was based in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAU Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think the Rolls is a Brewster bodied, New Phantom based on the side view showing that the rear springs are not exposed like they were on the Silver Ghosts. It does appear to be fitted with Silver Ghost cowl lamps but a few of the New Phantom limousines were. Some one with more knowlege will know.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Casper Friedrich Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I looked at the radiator to know if it was a Silver Ghost or Phantom. Only the later one's had that kind of shutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAU Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Casper, That is not correct. I have a few photos of later model Silver Ghosts clearly showing vertical louvers on the radiator. I have had another good look at the side on photo and I will change my earlier view on it being a New Phantom. The car in the photo does not appear to have any front brakes and therefore that would make it a silver ghost.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Casper Friedrich Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 According to Georgano in his book the classic Rolls-Royce the Springfield Phantom didn't get front-wheel brakes until early 1927. The drum-shaped headlights are of course very typical for the American Ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
