1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Drop Head Coupe

A fine older restoration of an alloy bodied, Mulliner convertible, and the only one equipped from new with air conditioning and power windows. It was originally ordered for the actress Debbie Reynolds by her husband, Harry Karle, and has done 44,000 miles.

This is the last of 13 out of 38, left-hand-drive Rolls-Royce built from 1956-1959 and is the only one equipped with air conditioning, power windows, and power steering from the factory. The 44,000 miles on the car is an example of the fine restoration that was completed about 25 years ago. The proper luggage, as noted on the factory records, was located and re-united with the car after 45 years. The car was originally delivered to Harry Karle, the husband of actress Debbie Reynolds.

Rolls-Royce mechanicals were reliable on this car and the 4.9 litre, six-cylinder engine has been known to run for 200,000 miles without a major overhaul. The interiors had leather pile upholstery, and the luxurious appointments included folding center armrest and slide-out picnic tables, ashtrays and vanity mirrors.
