Overview of 1928 Rolls-Royce Twenty For Sale by Owner

Famed British luxury automaker Rolls-Royce has over a century of history and tradition behind them. No surprise, then, that they are utterly uncompromising in their pursuit of ultimate automotive luxury. Today, they have an SUV as well as multiple sedan, coupe and convertible models, plus some limited editions, here and there. So, let’s take a trip, say, nearly a hundred years into their past. Here, we find examples such as this 1928 Rolls-Royce Twenty that’s now up for grabs in Meridian, Idaho. This machine of discerning excellence has got under 35,000 miles to its name and could be yours if you want a vintage car that will put all other vintage cars to shame. Because there’s nothing quite like a Rolls-Royce!

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1928 Rolls-Royce Twenty presents classic coachbuilt proportions, featuring upright bodywork, flowing fenders, and wire wheels with whitewall tires that are period-correct for the era. The two-tone finish, complemented by contrasting fender and body colors, highlights the car’s formal yet restrained aesthetic. Signature Rolls-Royce elements such as the upright radiator shell and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot reinforce its identity. Inside, the cabin showcases traditional craftsmanship with leather upholstery, wood trim, and simple yet elegant switchgear. The rear passenger compartment emphasizes comfort and refinement, while the front seating area reflects the owner-driver intent of the Twenty, offering a more direct and engaging driving position compared to chauffeur-focused Phantoms.

Engine

Powering this Rolls-Royce Twenty is a naturally aspirated inline-six engine, designed for smoothness and reliability rather than high output. With a displacement of approximately 3.1 liters, the engine delivers quiet, torque-rich performance suitable for refined touring. The overhead-valve design and single carburetor configuration exemplify Rolls-Royce’s emphasis on mechanical balance and longevity. Power is transmitted through a manual transmission, providing deliberate and controlled operation characteristic of the period. The chassis and suspension were engineered to prioritize ride comfort and stability, reinforcing the Twenty’s role as a luxury automobile intended for confident owner operation rather than purely ceremonial use.

1935 Ford Model 48 Deluxe 5-Window Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $53,297
Miles: 73,548
Estimated: $538.28/mo

The 1935 model year marked an important turning point for Ford, introducing a more streamlined design, improved suspension, and a refined version of the legendary flathead V8 that helped make affordable eight-cylinder performance accessible to American motorists. Nearly a century later, the Model 48 remains a celebrated example of prewar American automotive craftsmanship, particularly in the desirable Deluxe 5-Window Coupe configuration. This 1935 Ford Model 48 Deluxe 5-Window Coupe, showing 73,548 miles, comes finished in its original Coach Maroon color, complemented by a refurbished Brown cloth interior, red wire-spoke wheels, and distinctive wide whitewall tires. What truly sets this example apart is its remarkable history of AACA recognition, with the seller reporting Junior and Senior First Place awards, five Preservation awards, and a prestigious Grand National First Place award from the Antique Automobile Club of America. These distinctions are especially meaningful within the collector-car community, where authenticity, historical accuracy, and presentation are central to judging. Powered by Ford's celebrated 221ci flathead V8 and equipped with a three-speed manual transmission, a rear rumble seat, and a factory radio, this award-winning Deluxe Coupe combines prewar character with an impressive record of recognition among dedicated antique automobile enthusiasts.
