Overview
This is a beautifully detailed 1:24 scale die-cast precision model of the legendary 1907 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, finished in its signature metallic silver with rich green tufted upholstery. Mounted on a cobblestone-textured display base within a black protective case, it captures the Edwardian grandeur of the car that earned the title 'The Best Car in the World'.
Story
In 1907, a silver-painted Rolls-Royce completed a non-stop 14,371-mile reliability run, changing automotive history forever. This model celebrates that exact vehicle, which was so quiet and smooth it was likened to a ghost.
Maker / Origin
The Franklin Mint, founded in 1964, became world-renowned in the 1980s and 90s for pioneering high-end, museum-quality die-cast vehicle replicas. Their models were famous for utilizing over 100 individual high-quality materials, including real wood, leather, and chrome-plated metal parts, setting a new standard for adult collectors.
Condition & Value
The model appears to be in excellent, dusty condition, mounted on its original cobblestone-textured display base with the original hangtag still attached. There is some minor paint loss or wear on the front edge of the black display base frame, but the delicate components of the car itself appear intact.
