I am writing about Zsa Zsa Gabor's Rolls, not the later Corniche or Phantom but the Silver Clouds. One British auction house sold quite a tatty
one , appeared to be Hooper bodied saloon with razor edge trunk lid, but they didn't announce in their publicity how they could prove it was hers. Then there's the long wheelbase Cloud II
that was cut into a sedanca de ville by American coachbuilder George Barris who also slathered on gold paint, etched glass windows, gold velvet upholstery, the whole nine yards of Hollywood kitsch, that car
now a wedding car in Holland. Here name is all over that one and Barris himself told me he cut it but I am more interested in the first one, if anyone ever heard she owned a coachbuilt one in the UK
