Description

  This is a one family from new, Beverly Hills chauffer driven 1959

  Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Long Wheelbase with Division (Limousine)

  that has accumulated a mere 48,000 miles from new and has been

  consistently maintained and restored, only as needed. This is a

  fabulous example of an investment grade Silver Cloud; Fully

  documented from its original sales invoice through today, this

  rust-free California example has excellent service and restoration

  history, regardless of cost. Whether to be used on tours, local

  dinners or at concours events, this is a Rolls-Royce worthy of

  serious consideration. Of the 2,238 Silver Cloud Is, only 38 LHD

  long wheelbase with division examples were produced for the

  worldwide market. Of these, only a small number were for US

  delivery. LCLC19 was ordered on the 3 rd of June 1959 by MM Kasler,

  VP of the Free Sewing Machine Co of Beverly Hills, CA. The order

  was placed through the Rolls-Royce dealer Peter Satori of Calif,

  Inc. at a cost of $19,681. This Rolls was loaded with options,

  including the desirable rear air conditioning, power steering,

  electric windows, rear seat vanities, radio controls for the rear

  passenger and a sheepskin mouton overlay for the rear passengers.

  The son of Russian immigrants, Jay Kasler was raised in Canada

  where he started and owned several companies, including Free Sewing

  Machine. In 1954, Jay Kasler and some of his friends went to

  Sacramento to get a bank charter and started City National Bank in

  Beverly Hills and Jay was its first Chairman of the Board. This

  Silver Cloud was driven for nearly 15 years exclusively by Mrs. Jay

  Kasler's chauffeur, Raymond Russell Jones. Mr. Jones served as the

  chauffeur for the Kasler family from 1940 until the early 1970s,

  except for when he was in the US military during WWII. Mr. Jones

  was the only person driving the Rolls until his retirement. The

  Rolls continued to be serviced by the Rolls-Royce dealer or marque

  specialist for decades, with service records kept meticulously in

  its file (included in the sale). In 1988, Mrs. Kasler's daughter,

  Mrs. Alex Roger, who had inherited the Rolls, invested

  approximately $25,000 repainting it in its original Shell Gray,

  refinishing the wood, updating some of the interior and many

  mechanical updates we well. She enjoyed it for a short time before

  she passed. It was then inherited by her son, and then, ultimately,

  by her great-grandson who cares for the car through today. It is

  likely impossible to have better provenance than this. The Shell

  Gray metallic paint is nearly perfect. The shine and luster are

  excellent with very few imperfections. The paint is what we would

  consider concours for such an original motorcar. The Shell Gray is

  complemented with a proper beautiful blue pinstripe. The chrome and

  stainless steel are also excellent. We love the black walled tires,

  which just look right on this Rolls. The Gray Leather interior is

  beautiful today and is very soft and supple. The leather was

  replaced in 1988 when Mrs. Roger restored her Rolls. The leather is

  in very nice condition today with only normal creases from

  occasional use and loved maintenance. The burl Walnut wood

  throughout was refinished in 1988 and looks fantastic today. The

  original Blue Wilton wool carpeting in the front compartment could

  benefit from replacement as it is original and shows wear. The rear

  passenger compartment features a lovely original sheepskin mouton

  overlay with a special diamond pattern. Hidden inside the rear seat

  center armrest is a complete original Roll-Royce vanity set in

  as-new condition. The front compartment contains the controls for

  the air conditioning system and its Radiomobile radio. The engine

  compartment is well detailed, and the 4.9 liter six-cylinder engine

  performs well along with its four-speed automatic transmission. The

  driving impression is truly wonderful. The power steering makes it

  easy to drive, the Rolls feels relatively light and confidence

  inspiring. Instantly, it felt much as one must have felt to drive

  as when it was new. The long wheelbase version is extended through

  the rear doors by four inches to 127-inches, making the riding

  impression noticeably smoother. Between its consistent maintenance

  and 48,000 miles, this Rolls is a delight to drive. In the trunk

  are the original tools, the spare, flashlight, jack and everything

  originally delivered with this Rolls. Even more significant, the

  original owner's manual, sales brochures, Workshop repair manual,

  original sales invoice, factory data card and build sheets, and all

  service invoices for six decades of loving care are included. A car

  cover is also included. Rarely do we see such incredible

  provenance. For more information and details, please call or text

  Harry Clark at 1. or email us at

  inspection at our Phoenix showroom. We are pleased to offer

  FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we help coordinate
