Model History

Designer and Inspiration:

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was designed by Ira Gilford. It is based on the classic British luxury saloon of the same name.

Historical Context and Production Years:

It was first released in 1969 and produced with Redline (RL) wheels until 1971.

Unique Aspects:

The casting features an opening boot (trunk) and a highly detailed grille complete with a tiny "Spirit of Ecstasy" hood ornament. The body is a solid, heavy casting, reflecting the car's luxury status.

Similar Castings:

It was one of the first ultra-luxury car models in the Hot Wheels line, a contemporary of the Custom Continental Mark III.

Variations and Special Editions:

It was produced in various Spectraflame colors. A notable variation is the promotional version for the "Hot Wheels Club Kit," which came in chrome. Some versions have a painted black roof.
