MODEL HISTORY & PRODUCTION
The Rolls Royce Silver Cloud was a luxurious vehicle introduced by Rolls Royce in 1955 through to 1966, replacing the Silver Dawn. The Cloud became the core model for Rolls Royce during this period, beginning with the introduction of the Silver Cloud I from 1955 to 1959, where upon the Cloud II was introduced and continued until 1962, when the final version, Silver Cloud III was introduced becoming the final model of THE Silver Cloud era, being replaced by the all new Silver Shadow.
Replacing the Cloud I, the most noticeable change was the introduction of a new power unit, Rolls Royce installed their newly developed 6.2 liter V8 engine. As a result, performance improved significantly to a top speed of 114 mph with improvements in acceleration and torque.
Power steering was now standard with electric windows now appearing on the option list, along with improved ventilation and revised interior and exterior lighting.
