1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Drophead Coupe

  • Coachwork by Mulliner
  • Chassis Number: LSDD146
  • Engine Number: SD73
  • Style Number: SD73
This Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I wears an aluminum-bodied drophead coupe by H.J. Mulliner, style number 7410. A total of 21 examples of this design were built, and twelve were on left-hand-drive chassis.

The car was ordered in 1956 by Mrs. Dorothy Staniar Assheton, with residences recorded in New York City; Darien, Connecticut; and Belleville, New Jersey. She requested that the chassis be delivered as soon as possible and requested numerous special features, including Windtone horns, unique bulbs and lenses for the fog lights and tail lamps, summer and winter thermostats, and 'puncture proof tires.' An automatic transmission and power steering were also requested.

Mrs. Assheton received the Rolls-Royce in London, England on June 2nd of 1957. It is believed she maintained the car until 1977, when it was purchased by Samuel R. Schwartz of Cedarhurst, New York. Mr. Schwartz would own the Rolls for 30 years. During those three decades, much of its time was spent residing in the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn, Indiana.

The third caretaker commissioned the car's restoration, including new Velvet Green paint and biscuit tan leather upholstery. Currently, the odometer shows 69,270 miles.
