1947 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Labourdette Vutotal Cabriolet

Rebodied in 1947 by Labourdette of Paris, this Phantom III was the designer's last and arguably most daring work. It was commissioned by the flamboyant Louis Ritter who let Labourdette go all out, so much so, the body alone cost $44,000 which made it one of the most expensive of its time- equal to around $375,000 in 2003. :eek:

That is a pretty spectacular example of rolling artwork.

It is probably the most Art Deco car I have ever seen. I happen to love Art Deco so of course I think it's gorgeous.

It's cute.

I saw Jeremy Clarkson drive an RR Phantom into a Pool once on Top Gear.
