Rainey Rolls
The only Rolls-Royce with a copper body, this 1921 Silver Ghost won the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 1991. Manufactured six years after the Brass Car Era ended, this unique Rolls contains more copper and brass than any previous vehicle. Up until 1915, brass and other exposed metal components of cars remained in their shiny pristine state. After 1915, such parts were painted, usually, black.
Artist Notes:
"This painting portrays the famous copper Rolls-Royce and a lovely young lady in a hat that she designed, enjoying a late afternoon together."
