1956 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER WRAITH LIMOUSINE SPECIALLY ORDERED AND BUILT FOR R.W. JOHNSON II OF JOHNSON & JOHNSON ONE FAMILY OWNED SINCE NEW! ONE OF ONLY 18 BUILT FOR THE AMERICAN MARKET IN LEFT-HAND DRIVE! MANY OPTIONS AND SPECIAL
1956 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER WRAITH LIMOUSINE
Finished in special ordered Dark Valentino Blue with impeccably kept original parchment leather interior surrounded by magnificent walnut woodwork throughout. This exquisite motorcar was special ordered and built for industrialist Robert Wood Johnson of Johnson & Johnson. It has many unique features, such as air conditioning, American left-hand drive, division window, and much more! This stunning motorcar has been beautifully preserved and has had a recent cosmetic restoration making this one of the finest examples of a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith to be found anywhere. Offered to the most sophistocated collector, investor or museum that demands the best and appreciates this truly one-of-a-kind motorcar. I personally believe the investment potential of this great iconic Rolls-Royce will grow far beyond your imagination. For all of you who are not familiar, Rolls-Royce no longer exists as it has for nearly 100 years. It is now owned by BMW and is no longer being built in Crewe, England and is practically being mass-produced with many BMW parts. What they build today cannot compare to this truly handcrafted, sculptured work of art. The care and workmanship that went into this magnificent motorcar is simply unsurpassed. It is because of this fact that I personally believe these great motorcars will increase in value rapidly. Opportunity of a lifetime to acquire this museum quality limousine at an investment price! ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON was one of the twentieth century’s most innovative and colorful business leaders. He built Johnson & Johnson into a world-renowned company and gave new meaning to the need for corporations to serve the public interest. His shrewd intuition and endless flow of ideas often became milestones of progress in his many areas of endeavor. He had a flair for adventure, piloted planes and autogyros during the pioneering days of aviation, raced sailing vessels across turbulent oceans with the courage of a pirate, and pursued and married beautiful women. He waged war on the Washington bureaucracy, frustrated his political foes with his tenacity, and kept the press at bay with his sharp wit. His generosity created one of the nation’s most significant philanthropies – The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation – dedicated to improving health care for all Americans. His remarkable life story is told against a backdrop of historical events of the times. But most of all, it is Robert Wood Johnson’s humanity that shines through in ways that will make us remember The Gentleman Rebel.

While we offer our cars for online sale and auction, we do also encourage you to visit our beautiful classic car showroom!
Family owned and operated for over 50 years, we are a classic and luxury car gallery, committed to delivering some of the rarest, highest-quality classic cars, to customers worldwide.

As Daniel Schmitt & Co. reviews will attest, we focus on providing a world-class automobile shopping experience with thorough descriptions and detailed images - an absolute must in the digital age, when many of our classic and investment cars are sold online. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.
We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.
