The Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp, later to known as the Silver Ghost, was introduced at the London Motor Show in November, 1906. Production continued until the Spring of 1925, at the plant in Derby, England, and until 1926 at the American Springfield factory. Numerous improvements and refinements were made over the years.
In 1920, Rolls-Royce, Ltd. opend a manufacturing plant in Springfield, Massachusetts and founded Rolls-Royce of America, Inc. The growing market in the US for Rolls-Royce automobiles and the heavy US import duty on foreign-made vehicles justified this new venture. The first chassis were completed in 1921 and each had custom coachwork from one of several independent coachbuilders located in the US. One of these was the Merrimac Body Company in Merrimac, Massachusetts whose was marketed as the "Rolls-Royce Custom Coach Work".
1703 Silver Ghosts were made at Springfield between 1921 and 1926 when production ceased.
Years of Production: 1906 to 1926
