This rare left hand drive 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom was delivered on October 14, 1929, just two weeks before Black Tuesday , the Crash of 1929. Its fortunate new owner was Miss Marjorie M. Ward of Chicago, the adopted daughter of mail order and department store magnate Aaron Montgomery Ward. The close-coupled coachwork it bears is Brewster s Kenilworth Sedan. Intended to be chauffeur driven, it has a rollup division window and lightweight skeleton trim in the rear compartment with exposed wood roof battens below the cloth headliner and rollup shades on the side and rear window. The body is finished in Brewster Green with black fenders and body accent and upholstered in brown leather for the chauffeur and fine green cloth for the passengers compartment. The exterior is further equipped with black centerlock wire wheels with chrome lock rings, blackwall tires, dual sidemounted spares with mirrors, black leather covered roof and streamlined Brown Reflector headlamps with matching fender marker lights. This Rolls-Royce has a history known since 1955 within the Rolls-Royce Owner s Club. Its restoration is sharp and fresh, as if it had been done yesterday, and it runs and drives perfectly. The coachwork, of which Brewster built only 38, all on the Phantom I chassis, is unusual and highly attractive with its close-coupled passenger compartment and a luggage trunk, a discrete Rolls-Royce for the privileged daughter of the man Forbes magazine identified as the sixteenth most influential businessman in American history, the creator of satisfaction guaranteed or your money back . No doubt Marjorie was satisfied with her Rolls-Royce Phantom Kenilworth, as will its next owner.
