One of the most amazing cars I've ever seen. All 4 tons of it

1939 Rolls Royce

https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2016/02/driving-mrs-dillman-tale-round-door-rolls-royce/

Went to the Petersen Auto Museum in L. A. on Sunday and this one was down in their vault...not currently on display.

Interesting story behind it.

It’s literally one of the coolest cars I’ve ever seen. It was awe-inspiring. Beyond real. Like a movie piece from something like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

I don't want to just look at or touch it, I.want.to.drive.that.car!

Just a bout fifty miles and that would be enough.
