1931 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Shooting Brake

Cool!

I had the same steering wheel cover on my '73 VW Superbeetle.
I miss that firey little bug. Watching it burn to a crisp was heartbreaking, particularly since I'd just bought a new engine for it.

....have you ever played....with a woody.....???

I’m pretty sure the yellow was the legit color for that year.

Looks like it could be a Beatlesmobile.

Yeah, somehow to me it just doesn't look right with the woody look.

Mr. Lahey: A lot of people, don’t know how to drink. They drink against the grain of the liquor. And when you drink against the grain of the liquor? You lose.

Randy: What the @#$%& are you talking about?

the yello is no doubt a odd and ugly choice for color.
But if any of you want to chip in an buy it for me, I promise I'll change the color before I pick you up.

Out in the snow?

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

Hmmm...

1. It IS a station wagon, which is almost always a good thing in my book, though since it only has a door on the passenger rear a comparison to pre-1973 Chevrolet Suburbans is not inappropriate.

2. When you live in a place where every horizontal surface turns yellow in the spring due to the numerous local oak and pine trees releasing their pollen at the same time, you'll develop a special appreciation for yellow cars as I have.

3. As with maple syrup, when it comes to wood on car exteriors I prefer the fake stuff to the real stuff. Nonetheless the wood on that Rolls appears to be in remarkably good shape and unless you happen to be a fine furniture maker by trade restoring the wood is the hardest part of restoring any old station wagon, so that's a godsend.

During that period did Rolls-Royce build any of their own bodies in-house? For the ultra-premium brands they'd usually have a catalog of "standard" body offerings in popular styles to pick from built by one or more recommended coach builders, but you could also buy a running chassis (basically everything but the main body from the firewall/dashboard rearward) and ship it to the coach builder of your choice.
