Rolls Royce Horror II
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.

I wanted to check whether my comment was posted and found the item itself missing. Wondered if any had objected to it. I will always say that it helps to keep interest alive for those who can't afford the real thing, buy or rent. I will never buy or make such a thing, but still appreciate it for what it is worth. Cheers

Car guys are the most opinionated people on earth. Their idea of what a car "should" be is is dictated by the group they herd with. Everyone has the right to F---up their car their own way and each of us is susposed to play nice, say hmmm...walk on, and be smug in the knowledge that their car is the best. The idea is we all fix our cars up to please us and our peers because we all love cars, we are all braggarts and show offs with our special creations at car shows.

I don't care what it is, I like it and, presumably, so does the owner.

I am a purist, I even hate the terms parts car as I would want that to be restored too, or passed on and not scrapped. This car is well made, totally fake, but I am sure that it is a fun car for some. And it does spread awareness for us. There are outright fakes, and then there are replica's. Owners of these may never be able to afford the real deal, but they will be able to enjoy even more as they are only putting fakes at risk. As long as there is no devious activity it should be OK. Just my take.
