Rolls-Royce \u201cCorniche\u201d, Mulliner, Park Ward, 1971<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The open version of the Silver Shadow<\/strong>, the first Rolls Royce body chassis with brake disks<\/strong>, was presented in September 1967<\/strong>, but it was only at the 1971<\/strong> Geneva Motor Show that is was re-named Corniche<\/strong>, thus becoming a model in its own right. The Corniche, the name of the panoramic road in France that runs along the C\u00f4te d’Azur<\/strong>, was aimed at an exclusive and demanding public, who were willing to forego a little comfort (the noisiest soft-top vehicle) in favour of a sporting touch.
\nThe car in the Museo, one of the first produced with the Corniche name<\/strong>, has a particular story since Universal Studios in Hollywood gave it to the actor Dean Martin<\/strong> (whose real name was Dino Paul Crocetti, born in Ohio of Italian origin), as the plate inside the driver and passenger compartment shows.<\/p>\n
