How The Other Half Lives: Rolls Royces Provide a Taste of the Good Life

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

My late dad had a successful career as an insurance executive in Hartford and was a man of some means. However, he was never one to display his affluence (except for a propensity to pick up checks) and always drove sim- ple American cars like the Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Escort and Plymouth Duster. There was always one dream he had: owning a Rolls Royce. He was amazed that a chef at the for- mer Terrace Dining Room at Bradley International Airport drove a used one. Truth be told, my dad probably could have afforded a decent used Rolls Royce but he would never drive one. It’s been five years since my dad passed and all of the sudden it’s the Summer of Rolls for his Even standing still the Rolls Royce Phantom has an air that suggests luxurious driving at high rates of speed. youngest son – the journalist who’s most luxurious used car vertible sibling both have a list going to achieve a 0-60 time drive like I do with most press will probably be a 10-year old price around $430,000.
