Beautiful classic car! I am so glad it has been taken care of and preserved.
I had the pleasure of seeing this Rolls and meeting its owners today. The Rolls was magnificent and the owners couldn't have been more kind. It was an experience I will never forget.
Has anyone been able to actually visit the car since it got sold at auction. I’m a really massive fan of gatsby and I would love to see the car in person
Having seen the 1974 Great Gatsby film when it first came out, I have always been intrigued by this car.
Although Fitzgerald was no doubt referring to a 1922 vintage Rolls in his book, I think this later and unique bodied Rolls suits the Gatsby character better.
Nobody cares

@@russianarmy8976 Nobody cares what you think either, especially when you don't know what you're talking about.
Only problem, Fitzgerald's novel describes a car having hat boxes, tool boxes, and super boxes, and a labyrinth of windshields that mirrored a dozen suns. Or something like that. And the cars in the movies do not meet that standard -- if that standard is realistic. Not saying they're not great cars. And, about repeating the past, Gatsy said, "Why of course you can, old sport." Or similar. Does it matter? I believe it does, because the novel is one of the greatest written, worthy of being quoted verbatim, for which I am sorry I only paraphrased.
First?
They can still make these if they wanted to but nahhh these plastic cars
Unfortunately, safety and emissions laws ensure that cars like these can not, in fact, be made anymore, even if manufacturers wanted to.
