1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Navigation
This Rolls-Royce Phantom I wears St. Stephen Town Car Landaulette by Brewster. Its formal coachwork has an open driver's compartment for the chauffeur. Brewster offered the client the option of with or without a collapsible landaulet roof over the rear seat, in a similar fashion to horse-drawn carriages. The original owner was Lina Dolmetsch of Scranton, Pennsylvania who selected the landaulet roof. She took delivery of the Phantom I on October 9th of 1928. Later owners include Charles R. Bradshaw of Delphi, Indiana, from 1951 to 1956, then Denver B. Cornett, Jr., and James Fogle, both of Kentucky.

In 1975, Jay and Berta Leon acquired the Rolls-Royce from Burt Upjohn of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Upon its acquisition, the Leons drove it back to Hubbard, Texas.

The car is currently finished in regal maroon and black, with a broadcloth interior in the correct material and pattern. There are heater grates on the floor to warm passengers' feet and a clock in the division. Currently, it has 82,232 miles.
