Far more of a cultural hallmark than a mere automobile manufacturer, the prestigious company founded by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce 110 years past stands even now as a proud emblem of British engineering and design excellence. Though both Rolls and Royce had it in mind that their impact upon the world of engines and wheels would be resounding, it is possible that even they might be beside themselves in learning of the extent to which their shared vision would come to fruition. One need only look to the 1962 Rolls Royce Phantom V to reinforce the point, as the model effectively embodied everything its manufacturer sought to combine from one model to the next. The 1962 Rolls Royce Phantom V was style, it was precision, it was elegance, it was strength, and, yes, it was class. Though predicated to some degree upon the contemporaneously manufactured Silver Cloud II, the 1962 Rolls Royce Phantom V was very much its own machine.
A large 4-door saloon, the Phantom V was designed to impress. And as a body-on-frame construction, the contributions of several prestigious coachbuilders ensured the models well-designed chassis would be housed within a handsome exterior. These included Park Ward and James Young, among others. And like its Silver Cloud II cousin, the Phantom V was muscled about the motorways by a forceful Rolls Royce V-8 (6.2 liters of displacement) that performed steadily and ensured a respectable top speed. But what truly set this work of art apart from others of its kind was the degree of exclusive ownership it ultimately enjoyed. Figures both royal and famous would come to call the Phantom V their own, and far beyond the limits of the United Kingdom.
