The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is an automobile produced from April 1955 to March 1966. It was the core model of the Rolls-Royce range during that period.
The Silver Cloud replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J. P. Blatchley design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn.
The Silver Cloud III arrived in 1963. External dimensions of 2-door convertible were slightly altered, the interior remodeled, the weight reduced by a little over 100 kg. The engine was 6.2 L Rolls-Royce V8 220HP. The transmission was a GM Hydromantic which Rolls-Royce used under license. The headlights were grouped in a four-headlamp layout subsequently continued in the later Silver Shadow.
