MY Former: 1961 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II, Sedanca [Towncar], Awarded To ME By The Wife Of Mario Lanza (Who Died In October 1959) Former President Of RCA-VICTOR Records; For Superior Artistic Merit And The Mentoring Of Others. Awarded To: Princes Anne; Ballantyne Ford Vanderbilt/Stuart HannoverWindsor; Known Professionally As: Anne Ballantyne (Composer), Nicole Christa Paffgen (Singer, Actress, Fashion Model, Visual Artist), Frank Sinatra, Jr. (Singer). It’s Rolls Royce V-12 Engine Was Fully Hot Rodded By Rolls Royce/Bentley Technicians Of Crewe, England, Fully Nickle-Chrome Plated, Fitted With Dual Superchargers And A Hemi-Head, And Painted 3-Shades Of Rolls Royce Garnet Gold. The Photographs Were Taken In The Netherlands In 2004 Soon After The Concours De E’legance Auto Show In The Square. I Posed ON The Car For The Official Photos. The ‘Site I Printed These Photos From Mentioned That The Photos Had Been Very Adobe Photoshopped. For Instance: The Lines Of The Trunk Lid And The Rear Roof Line, Are Just Like That Of Any Other Silver Cloud II Rolls Royce. The Roof Is Covered In A Vinyl Fabric Material Matching The Colour Of The Tyre Cover. The Headlamp Bezels Merely Fit Over The Original Wreath-Figured Bezels, That Are Gold Plated, [Also] And Held In Place By Means Of A Flat Spring And A Set Screw. The Numerals On The License Plate Have Been Computer Changed. The Appliques On The Doors, Having Embedded Round, Rare Earth Magnets, Are NOT There (?) &, Etc....Maybe Items Were Taken Out Of Storage And Simply Attached To The Vehicle!!? It Could Be That This Vehicle Is The One That These Were Installed On By Automobile Customiser, George Barris. George, Had Shown Me The Various Modifications He Had Made To My Former Vehicle In 1977 or 1978?? MY Former Auto Is Erroniously Said To Have Been Owned By: Zsa Zsa Gabor, Who Owned W H I T E Automobiles Including Rolls Royces, Etc., ONLY!! She Did Not Like Gold Vehicles!! I Can Be Seen In The Reflection In The Front Bumper, LEFT. The Vehicle Was Sold In 1970, It Had Become Very Scratched And Dirtied From All Of The Times I Had Modeled For Photographers On It. It May Have Been Repainted White And Given To Gabor(???) Then Totally Re-Done In 1977 or 1978. Via Flickr:
