Rolls-Royce Phantom IV
The Phantom IV is a British automobile produced by Rolls-Royce. They were only built for buyers whom Rolls-Royce considered worthy of the distinction: the British Royal Family and heads of state. Only eighteen were made between 1950 and 1956. Only 16 are known to still exist.
It is known that a boardroom decision was reached that it would be impractical and disruptive to production of standard models to attempt to build more than three Phantom IVs per year. No private customer other than royalty and heads of state ever took delivery of a Phantom IV. The first car was delivered to Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess and heir presumptive) on July 6 1950. This car is still used for state occasions.
