This car is the earliest open Springfield-built Rolls-Royce known to exist. In 1921, Rolls-Royce decided to build some motor cars in the United States, and it chose Springfield, Massachusetts, as its base. That location was chosen for its proximity to major northeastern markets and important suppliers as well as the supply of skilled craftsmen trained in the armories of the Connecticut River valley and the New England machine tool industry. The 40/50 horsepower Silver Ghosts were shipped from England and assembled in Springfield.
This particular Springfield-built motor car was sold new in Los Angeles and was owned by a number of prominent people there before being purchased by the Bothwell family and stored for over sixty years.
