1954 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith I All-Weather Cabriolet
Photographed at the Blackhawk Auto Museum in Danville, California. Photos by Douglas Wilkinson.
This distinctively styled one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce with Freestone & Webb coachwork is both practical and stylish; the totally disappearing top and roll-up windows provide all-weather protection, including a second windshield for the rear-seat passengers.
The unique caning was applied by using a device similar to a cake decorator's bag with a hollow cone-shaped tip; an artisan with a steady hand applied the intricate pattern by carefully squeezing out an even, controlled bead of paint.
