Période

Canada

This vehicle is probably the first of its kind imported & used in Canada. It was purchased in Canada by Sir James Dunn for use in St. Andrews, NB. It was later sold to John Bassett, who sold it to Mr. Frederik Eaton of the Eaton's department store in 1970. Mr. Eaton used the car in Canada, and as his official vehicle while Canadian high commission in London and in Toronto from 1991-1994 (ref.1).

Fonction

Owner driven luxury passenger vehicle for general transportation.

Technique

Example of Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn manufactured during first full year of production, and exemplifying major shift in the company's production & marketing methods. Modified design including a redesigned engine for greater power & improved performance & standardized rolls-designed steel body, permitted RR to compete in export market effectively, & without loss of quality. The silver dawn was designed for export, as a means of improving Britain's balance of payments. 760 RR Silver Dawn vehicles were manufactured from 1949-1955; unlike many other RR products, the silver dawn was designed & marketed as an owner-driven rather than chauffeur-driven automobile (refs.1 & 2). This vehicle was the fist PR car designed and made by RR. Previous to this, the body had been done by different coach makers.
