This 1930 Phantom ll Saloon is a symbol of the unique styling that these glorious cars have. The long sweeping fenders mount flush against the running boards, which makes the car seem to glide across the road. The black paint gives this car a stealthy, yet strong appearance. The riveted hood displays the care for craftsmanship when they built this car. As with any proper Rolls-Royce the Flying Lady stands tall on top of the readily distinguishable chrome grille.

The Phantom II, which was introduced in September 1929, was the last model produced before Sir Frederick Henry Royce, OBE, died in 1933. Its 7.9-liter engine was much faster than any previous Rolls-Royce. Its lowered chassis, with its distinctive radiator shell now placed directly above the I-beam front axle, lowered its stance, and its bonnet measured nearly half its entire body length, creating a handsome, sleek appearance.

The Phantom ll was produced over a five-year period with; it is reported, just over 1,700 of them. Each one has its own unique feel with the wooden framed coachwork body. The thick steel frame provides you with a sturdy foundation while the fresh blackwall tires enable you to cruise along in 1930s luxury. Each Rolls-Royce has a personality and with the black rim and tire combination it shows an air of dominance on the road.

This sedan may have four doors, but its 120-hp straight six-cylinder engine will effortlessly take you where you need to go in sleek style. The soft leather seats will allow you to enjoy a comfortable ride while shifting through the smooth four-speed transmission. Beige interior is a nice offset to its dark black exterior and conveys elgance.

The chrome grille and headlights stand out off the front of the Saloon, while the front and rear bumpers are also presented in vibrant chrome. The luggage rack is mounted on the rear and completes the period correct look of the car. The Rolls-Royce also has a tool roll found onboard. This vehicle shows an essence of pride you have when you own a Rolls-Royce. As with all post-1919 Rolls-Royce automobiles, this car is recognized by the CCCA as a “Full Classic.”
