This 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Brougham Limousine de Ville wears coachwork by Barker & Company and rides on a wheelbase that measures 150 inches. The car is painted in 'Hershey Chocolate Bar Brown' with a faux cane-work on the lower rear body, a black rear-mounted trunk and a full body-color wheel discs. There are coach-lamps mounted on the center pillars and side-lamps on the front fenders. Headlamps are Lucas Biflex units. A single spare tire is carried in the right front fender. The passenger compartment is upholstered in linen. Jump seats fold down from the center division, and there is an under-seat heater at the rear, as well as in front. The compartment is outfitted with mirrored and lighted vanity cabinets in the rear quarters, a small skylight and a set of glasses with decanter. The division bulkhead has a sliding window. The open chauffeur's compartment has a fabric roof, green leather seat and a handsome burl walnut dashboard. There is a Smiths clock and a 90-mph A.T. speedometer, with the odometer indicating 8,089, in addition to the customary engine instrumentation.

In 2011, this vehicle was offered for sale at the Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $150,000 - $250,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $99,000 including buyer's premium.
