Rolls-Royce Phantom III Aero Coupe

Rolls-Royce is a company with an impeccable reputation that has been producing the most reliable, prestigious and expensive cars in the world for over 100 years. Its name and its inalienable attribute - the "Spirit of Ecstasy" talisman on the hood - has long been a symbol of luxury, wealth and elitism, and is recognized as a national treasure of Great Britain. The essence of Rolls-Royce was formed on the recalculation of British conservatism, design perfectionism, the highest quality standards, the aristocratic spirit of old England and royal tastes. Here you can cite the famous advertising phrase: "Owning a Rolls-Royce is not just a luxury, it is a privilege."

Design Rolls-Royce Phantom III Aero Coupe

The Phantom III is a very special vehicle in Rolls-Royce history, the last of the pre-war "ghosts" designed by Henry Royce. Like all its predecessors, it was impeccable in the quality of hand-built, balanced mechanical parts, quiet operation of the engine and smooth running. In addition, the Phantom III was one of the most technically advanced machines of its time, which cannot be said about its conservative post-war successors.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom III debuted at the 1935 Olympia Motor Show in London. Production of the model was interrupted with the outbreak of World War II, so only 727 chassis were built at the Derby plant from 1936 to 1939. Customers were offered a wide variety of bodies from various ateliers, but none were manufactured by Rolls-Royce.

The Phantom III's powertrain shared many similarities with the Merlin's V12 aircraft. In particular, the block and heads were made from a special Hiduminium alloy invented by High Duty Alloys. The timing design used one lower camshaft with a gear drive, which controlled the valves through rocker arms and pushers. Other features of the engine were wet cylinder liners, a one-piece aluminum crankcase, one carburetor, and a dual ignition system with two spark plugs per cylinder.

The 7.3-liter engine was located separately from the 4-speed manual transmission, synchronized in three higher gears and available with overdrive since 1938.

Due to the heavy weight, the performance of the car left much to be desired: the average fuel consumption was 28 liters. at 100 km, and the maximum speed did not exceed 150 km / h, although for Rolls-Royce this did not really matter.

As in the old days, the design of the car, regardless of the bodybuilder, was determined by the monumental radiator grille and the enormous dimensions of the body. Since the model was sold with only one 142-inch wheelbase (3607 cm), the most common were 4-door limousines, sedans and coupe de ville.

The base of the Phantom III's chassis was a steel frame of box girders connected by a cruciform cross member. The main innovation is the independent coil-spring and wishbone front suspension designed by GM engineer Maurice Ollie, a former employee of Rolls-Royce in Springfield. At the same time, a rigid bridge with semi-elliptical springs remained behind. From the driver's seat, it was possible to adjust the hydraulic shock absorbers and turn on centralized chassis lubrication. The car was equipped with Hispano-Suiza servo-assisted mechanical drum brakes and spoke wheels, which were often fitted with Ace metal discs.

Aerodynamic coupe built by Classic Auto Rebuilding Service of Cameron, Wis. On the original Rolls-Royce Phantom III chassis. Painted in Night Violet, this fantastic Art Deco car lays claim to being the most beautiful Rolls-Royce of all time. Its body was created from sketches by J. Jortovik, published in Road and Track magazine in 1935, and replaced the irreparable limousine from Rippon Brothers.

The roofline sloping from the windshield to the rear bumper matches the angle of the side windows, which almost abut the streamlined rear fenders with closed arches. This fastback design is inspired by the pre-war Delage coupes. The salon has a corresponding slope back, but accommodates four people. Interior fittings include English wool flooring, goose down leather seats, and walnut dashboard and window frames. The exterior of the original Rolls-Royce retains only the radiator grill, the rest of the details are of modern origin, including the stainless steel fender moldings, Marchal front and rear lights and polished Ace deluxe wheels. Instead of the Spirit of Ecstasy, there is another talisman on the hood - a glass figurine "Chrysis Kneeling Nude" by the French designer R. Lalique.
