This incredible 1928 Rolls-Royce, Phantom I, Springfield Brewster, St. Martin Town Car was purchased new by King C. Gillette, and it remained under Gillette family ownership until 1964, when it was purchased by the Shochitt family of New York with approximately 13,000 miles at that time.
The car truly became a celebrity in its own right; appearing in numerous movies including The April Fools with Jack Lemmon, The Cotton Club, Putney Swope, and numerous television commercials. It also won first in its class at the 1965 Madison Square Garden Autorama. .
