With the introduction of the Silver Shadow in late 1965, Rolls-Royce embraced monocoque chassis design for the first time along with much more modern styling than the Silver Cloud III that it replaced. After initial reluctance, most Rolls owners came around to make it a terrific success.

Among their many virtues, Rolls-Royce motorcars have long been hailed for their superior ride quality. Many attribute this reputation to the Silver Shadow model, the most popular and best-selling Rolls-Royce in the company’s long and storied history. The Silver Shadow redefined the industry standard of comfort with a revolutionary high-pressure hydraulic self-leveling suspension system.

This 1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is a long wheelbase model finished in blue with a tan interior with blue piping. This blue plate California car features a tan Everflex roof, sheep skin seat covers, burl wood interior trims and the original toolkit.
