Nuthin' screams 'good taste' like turning a classic into a neo-classic!

Poor, poor 600.  :shakehead:

I kinda like neo-classic cars. It's a kind of bad taste that I find strangely appealing. And it's very possible that there's something wrong with me  :)

This one, however, is a 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II - and I quote:

"A very unusual and well-travelled Phantom II. If it doesn't look like a 1930 car, thats because its not really: It was delivered new to Juan Manuel Acevedo of Argentina at the beginning of 1930. In the 1940's the most popular Argentinean actor of that period, Luis Sandrini, owned this car and wanted it to be re-bodied, combining a typical north American style with the classical elegance of this car. This result of the Argentinean coach builder Coronal’s work is this unique and spectacular Phantom II. After a period in Buenos Aires, the car later arrived in Europe, initially in the United Kingdom and finally in Italy in the 1990's. The bodywork, chassis and interior are stated to be in extremely good condition."

Yes! That's it!

I see they added a hood ornament after my picture was taken...  ;)

How very convenient that that happened after your picture was taken - from the very same angle. Very convenient.
