Vintage 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Ad

Luxury Advertising / Retro Ad of the Week: Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, 1959

As if you needed reassurance, this vintage luxury ad lists 13 reasons why the 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is better than basically any other vehicle on the road at that time. (How many cars do you know that have espresso machines in their list of available options?)

FUN FACT:  The Silver Cloud’s 1959 sticker price of $13,995 would boil out to roughly $111,655 in 2013 dollars, making it quite a bargain given that most of today’s Rolls-Royce models start at around $250,000 and go up from there.
