editor: this 'beauty'got lost somewhere in the middle of editorial chaos prior to Xmas. So here a new chance - we showed you a lovely post-war example earlier -  to unleash your irritation or even anger and get rid of tension and stress. Open your mind and give your unabridged opinion about this fine limousine...

When you are a vintage car enthusiast, friends are usually well informed about this fact. Then, when one of them spots a classic, most probably will send you -via mobile phone- the photographs of the "jewel" found. And this was the case of this "Rolls" seen in South America. The text accompanying the pictures was exclamatory, claiming that the sender just found a hig-end luxury car from the 1930s. But what do we have here? A true work of creative craftsmanship. A chassis of unknown origin, but probably a Chrysler or Chevrolet from the early 1930s. The body and bumpers are 1931 Ford Model A Murray Fordor. Bonnet and headlights appear to be early 1930s Cadillac. The engine and other details are unknown, but the "cocktail" is finished with a huge Rolls Royce style radiator which in a close view could be described as artisanal. This machine seems to be used as wedding car, and surely for the average, bride and groom this machine represents a highlight of the thirties which is most apt to celebrate this very important day... . And after you have stopped shouting, laughing and throwing rotten tomatoes you can give some thought to the fact that no matter the "details" - like in this paste up RR - the authority and emotions connected to Rolls-Royce are still strong as always.
