The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is a luxury car that was produced in Britain in various forms between 1965 and 1980. It was the first Rolls-Royce to use a monocoque chassis, a response to the company's concern about falling behind in technological innovation within the automobile industry.
To date, the Silver Shadow has the highest production volume of any Rolls-Royce ever produced.
The Mercedes 280Se was the standard bearer for Mercedes luxury sedans in Germany, the United States and Southeast Asia as the main markets, and its desirable design and hydro-pneumatic suspension made it the choice for heads of state, diplomats and presidents from all over the world.
