Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn (1949-1955)
Car Model Details:
The Silver Dawn was offered until 1955, a 4-door full size luxury car with sedan body style. Within a couple of years the Rolls Royce Silver Dawn Standard Steel Sports Saloon was introduced as a result of public demand for a standard steel bodied Rolls-Royce. This car closely resembled the Mark VI differing only by the replacement of the grille for the Rolls-Royce front grille. Please note that this car is not to be confused with the Rolls-Royce model of the same name produced from 1995-1998!
