| 1907 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost |
In the early days of this Century, Rolls-Royce
Silver Ghost was generally regarded as the best luxurious car in the
world. You might not know, Rolls-Royce built only the chassis, leaving
the body work to be finished by coach-builders according to customer’s requirements. However, Silver Ghost had a marvellous powertrain. Its straight-six engine employed a strong crankcase, 7 main bearings
such that vibration was virtually eliminated (by the standard of then).
Because it was so quiet, so smooth, the name “Silver Ghost” was given.
Reliability was also its strongest point, since every Silver Ghost was
carefully made.
