1968 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

The Silver Shadow I was produced from 1965 to 1976. It was designed with several modernisations in response to concerns that the company was falling behind in automotive innovation, most notably its unitary construction.

The new Shadow was 3 1⁄2 inches (8.9 cm) narrower and 7 inches (18 cm) shorter than the Silver Cloud, but nevertheless managed to offer increased passenger and luggage space thanks to more efficient packaging made possible by unitary construction.

Other new features included disc brakes replacing drums, and independent rear suspension instead of the outdated live axle design of previous Rolls models.
