1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Navigation
This Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Long Wheelbase Touring Car with coachwork by Mulliner (style 7356) was ordered by Chauncey Devereux Stillman (grandson of James Stillman—the founder of what later became Citibank) in the winter of 1955 through J.S. Inskip in New York. It was finished in black over tan Connolly hides and devoid of the interior division window - the only example so ordered. It was, however, equipped with blind quarters for rear privacy. Prior to delivery of the car in the early spring of 1956, Inskip added a roof ducted air conditioning system.

From 1988 through 1998 the car resided in the collection of William Gounaris of Louisville, Kentucky, then to Vantage Motorworks in Miami and Florida from 1998-2001. It was sold to a Las Vegas collection for some time before finding its way back to Florida, and then into the care of its current owner in 2014.

The car remains in original condition except for the addition of primrose paintwork on the center section of the body and wheels.
