Rolls-Royce Celebrates Phantom Turning 100

Rolls-Royce Phantom 100 Years

One hundred years ago, the world was introduced to Phantom, and it has never been the same since. The Phantom has become one of the most famous cars in history, and is the de facto automobile for royalty, rock stars, movie stars, business people, and diplomats.

To celebrate Rolls-Royce Phantom turning 100, every Phantom that is handcrafted this year will feature a unique chassis plaque that identifies the model as one produced in the 100th anniversary year. Making every Phantom built this year instantly collectible and a notable chapter in Rolls-Royce's History.
