Vehicle of the Week: Rolls Royce Silver Cloud

For this feature, I usually select vehicles unique to Tokyo, or at least Japan, if I can. But look what I found parked just down the block the other night.


This is a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III. The first Silver Cloud came to market in, I think, the late 50s or early 60s. The III version, with the four headlamps, didn't come along until the late 60s. Like all versions of the Silver Cloud, only a couple of thousand IIIs were ever built, so I was happy to get a chance to admire it and take a picture.
