In period, this car defined the luxury convertible. It is driven by a 6.75-liter V-8 engine that is mated to a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic transmission sourced from GM, as was standard on all similar cars. The Corniche also has power rack-and-pinion steering, as well as power four-wheel disc brakes. Luxury and convenience items are well in evidence with air conditioning, AM/FM radio; power windows and top. Individual front seating and center console help create a very welcoming environment for long- or short-term touring. Distinctive front grille and ornamentation highlight the clean lines. The car comes complete with the original tools and cloth cover.

This car is finished in a champagne tone with prior left side work in evidence. The trim is in good condition and thought to be wholly intact. The power top works well and the leather interior is in fair condition with no major issues. The car seems to be mechanically sound as well and runs and drives well. The Rolls-Royce was donated to the AACA Museum in 2007 and displays 69,000 miles. When donated the car was fully functional and in good condition.
