In 1913, Rolls Royce Managing Director Claude Johnson decided to open an American subsidiary to simplify the import of Silver Ghosts. In 1915, due to the war, the Rolls Royce factory in Derby was shut down, forcing the American subsidiary to cease operations.
This event prompted Claude Johnson to give the American subsidiary its own factory. This meant that Rolls Royce could distribute its cars on the American market, one of the most important for the brand, without having to depend on Derby or pay customs duties. In 1920, Rolls Royce of America moved to Springfield and began production of the first Silver Ghost chassis.
The Brewster coachbuilder, founded in 1810, is closely linked to Rolls Royce's American subsidiary. Between 1914 and 1915, it bodied around a hundred European Silver Ghosts.
Between 1920 and 1926, relations between the coachbuilder and the American subsidiary became increasingly close. So much so that in 1926, Rolls Royce of America bought the coachbuilder.
First presented in 1925, the Rolls-Royce New Phantom (later known as the Phantom I) featured an all-new six-cylinder overhead-valve engine with a displacement of almost 7.7 liters. In its standard version, it developed 108 hp, a clear improvement on its predecessor. Its chassis, however, remained identical to that of its predecessor, the Silver Ghost, until the introduction of the Phantom II in 1929.
