Man has always had a fascination with automobiles and the power they have. Today, for most people a car is a necessity and not a luxury. Vehicles bought today are a major investment and we want to keep them in the very best shape for as long as possible. To do this you need to make sure you do regular maintenance on the vehicle and wash it regularly. When your vehicle is not in use you should protect the paint finish with a custom car cover.

You might be surprised to learn that Rolls and Royce were actual people. Frederick Royce built the first Royce vehicles in 1904. He was a British electrical equipment manufacturer. The three two cylinder cars that Royce had built are what attracted Charles Rolls. Charles had been a car enthusiast for a long time and was the son of a baron. He had a dealership in London and was impressed with Royce’s engineering. They decided to become partners and it was decided that Royce would build the cars and Rolls would sell them.

In 1907 they introduced the Silver Ghost. It had a 6 cylinder engine and the inside was painted silver. This is the vehicle that got them noticed. Their reputation for reliability was cemented when the car was driven over 15,000 miles (very high ,ileage in those days) without having much wear on the car. Sadly, in 1910 Rolls was flying his biplane and crashed. He was killed instantly.

The Silver Ghost’s chassis was fortified and it was used as a combat car during WWI. After the war, the Jazz Age followed and people had money to spend. The Rolls Royce car was known by the nickname of Rollers. They even introduced a Baby Roller which was a little smaller. At this time, big cars were still very popular and the company introduce the Phantom I and Phantom II during the 1920’s.

The Rolls Royce Company grew much larger in the heady days of the 1980's. The Silver Spur and the Silver Spirit were both huge square looking, ultra luxury cars. They were the ultimate status symbol. In 2003 the company introduced an all new Phantom that was available as a coupe, convertible or sedan. In 2004 the Rolls Royce Company celebrated its 100th Anniversary.

Rolls Royce recently introduce the Rolls Royce Ghost and it is packed full of power and luxury. This mean machine can go from zero to sixty in 4.8 seconds. It also has a top speed of 155mph. The engine is a 6.6 liter turbo charged V12. Besides being powerful it is also the one of the most luxurious vehicles on the market today. The interior has a contemporary feel and has a combination of natural wood veneers and soft leather to let you drive in style.

You probably will never be one of the elite to own a Rolls Royce or even have the pleasure of riding in one. However, your vehicle is your pride and joy and you want to make sure you that is stays in good shape for a long time. By using a custom car cover you can keep your vehicle protected from scratches and harsh elements, like the sun.
