Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost - what luxury felt like 90 years ago

December 19, 2012 — Thomas Suter 18

You don't need a DeLorean with a flux compensator to turn back time. A ride in a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost creates the same effect. And the modern motorist is amazed at what the rich and powerful went to almost 100 years ago to get around quickly without horses, unless they employed someone as a chauffeur to take the manual part of getting around. This report sensitively describes what it means to start and drive a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost from 1920. The article is illustrated with historical and current photo material.
