Miss USA 1962 Amadee Chabot poses in a paint booth, spraying her Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II in an ad for Watson's Do-It-Yourself Paint And Supply. We have never seen a better ad for a more boring store. [SpeedOnBigBoy] More »

In 2007, actor Nicolas Cage leased a 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III worth a cool $550K and a not-as-cool 2002 Corniche. When he lost his shirt in the stock market, he returned 'em. Now he's got a $240K bill. More »

What's better than a 1955 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud? A shooting brake version of a 1955 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud of course. Our Japanese is as rusty as the bed on an '83 Toyota Pickup, so a legit description is out of the question, but we're willing to bet at some time in the past, this sucker played hearse to the well heeled. Whatever the history, it sure is a handsome car, packing a hardwood floor and ceiling in the cargo area and classic British refinement up front. Perhaps it was a parts hauler for the Sultan of Brunei, what do you think? More »

Well here we are, Round 2 of Jalopnik-style madness. After the first round of voting, we've eliminated half of the 32-car field. And there sure were some upsets; Parnelli Jones' Big Oly Bronco losing to some white Italian car being perhaps the most shocking. We even had a last minute buzzer-beater, with "Billy" beating out the Rolls Limo by only 2 votes! But, now it's time to vote our sweet 16 down to an elite 8. We'll be one step closer to figuring out which car you think is the coolest on-screen in the 1974 film Gone In 60 Seconds. Update: Polls have closed, voting for Round Three here. More »

Yesterday, we gave you the brackets. Today, the voting begins and Jalopnik-style March Madness ensues. If you haven't finalized your own bracket for the office pool just yet, hurry up! The field of 32 cars from the original 1974 film Gone In 60 Seconds is about to get narrowed down by your votes. At the end this round, we'll be down to 16 sweet rides. Ultimately, we want to find out what you think the coolest car in the movie is. Now some cars are cool all by themselves, but you also have to consider what role they played on screen. So who knows what the results will look like? Update: Polls for Round 1 are closed. Vote in Round 2 here. More »

Interested in all the March madness tournament bracketry, but not really into college hoops? Maybe you're looking for a way to redeem yourself after penciling-in Duke to go all the way? Whatever the case, we've decided to throw our own Jalopnik-style bracket-madness party! Instead of basketball, we've got cars! And don't think this isn't some randomly-selected field of Consumer Reports top choices. What we have is a 32-car selection from one of the coolest car movies ever made: the original Gone In 60 Seconds from 1974. Through the rest of this week and part of next, your votes will be tallied to decide the winners of each face-off. Polls will open tomorrow, so that gives you today to print out your own bracket, fill in your predictions, tell your buddies, and make up your own office pool. It also gives you time to go watch the movie, but if you want just a quick refresher, we've provided that too. More »

Little known, patently false assertion: The English Bulldog got its underbite and tabular facial features by repeatedly running headlong into wrought-iron fences in London's posh Regents Park area. Strangely enough, a 1950's era Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud in London gained a Bulldog-like expression by doing quite the same thing, only for real. Syberites has the low, low down. More »
