Digital Prints for Sale. My 1939 Rolls-Royce Phantom 3 “Vutotal” Cabriolet - by Henri Labourdette

The 1939 Rolls-Royce Phantom III “Vutotal” Cabriolet was designed and rebuilt by the Parisian coachwork designer, Henri Labourdette, on commission by the New Yorker, Louis Ritter.

This magnificent vehicle is reminiscent of an era when driving was always an artful and elegant experience.

Everything "Rolls Royce" was removed and a new body was created, replete with gold plating and brass fixtures to replace the chrome. The new shape stretched sensuously from bumper to bumper - in Labourdette's last, and arguably, most daring creation.

The final cost of the body work was $44,000. The most expensive car customisation of its time.

Charming Rogue and the Agents of Swing

In the back of the Caberet whispers flow
Tuxedo and fedoras are running the show
With a wink and a knod the band's in play
The beat speeds up as they start to sway

Tip your hat take a chance spin the wheel
Every move's a dance but the danger's real
In the rhythm of the brass secrets unwind
Slip the croupier a bill or three
And leave it all behind

Swing through the Masquerade
Agents on the prowl
Slip past the velvet rope
Fade into the crowd

A dance of deception where
The truth is a mask
In the heart of intrigue
We complete the task

Silken gloves grip tight on a silver case
In the haze of smoke you can't read the face
Lipstick on the glass but the glass Stays dry
As as I slip out the back not a soul asks why

Trumpets blare but it's all a ruse
The real action's in the clues they choose
Rhythms mix with the ticking of time a
You feel the caper set to a jazzy rhyme

Swing through the Masquerade
Agents on the prowl
Slip past the velvet rope
Fade into the crowd

A dance of deception where
The truth is a mask
In the heart of intrigue
We complete the task

The Double agents game is is a tricky one
but when the saxophones wail the deal's done
Smooth silk they vanish in the haze
Leaving only the beat of their secret ways

Swing through the Masquerade
Agents on the prowl
Slip past the velvet rope
Fade into the crowd

A dance of deception where
The truth is a mask
In the heart of intrigue
We complete the task

[Applause]

In the Smokey Haze of a bygone age
Where the music's a lure and life's the stage
They'll be swingin to the danger time and again
Secret agents of Jazz playing the game to win
