The Motor Car – 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Standard Saloon
Our first car in the fleet — a 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III, chassis LSHS155. Finished in deep, lustrous black with striking red leather inside, it has that perfect classic Rolls-Royce presence that never fails to impress.
Originally ordered for private use in the United States, this car spent most of its life in the Palm Beach area. It received a thorough refurbishment by Vantage Motor Works in North Miami in 2023 and is equipped with front and rear air conditioning for full comfort on warm days.
History & Provenance This Silver Cloud III was first delivered in 1965 through Rolls-Royce Inc. for J.S. Inskip. It was originally specified for W.A. Phillips of Anderson & Co. and enjoyed quiet, private use for years. Later owners included Irving T. Smith in Palm Beach (1971), Draddy Vincent de Paul of Palm Beach (1985), Ronald Shane of Boca Raton, collector Steve Wolf, and Edward W. Easton. In December 2023 I brought it home to Palm Beach Livery after its full refurbishment. The car comes with extensive service records spanning more than six decades.
