But those lucky enough to be at this year's Pebble Beach Concourse de Elegance, they will be treated to the sight of Pininfarina Hyperion.
Based upon a Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe, the Italian-built car is said to be an homage to the pre-war era of coach-built autos. It's fitting that Rolls would be building this full-sized (and how!) sedan: only the likes of it -- and perhaps Bentley -- still produce cars with same size, elegance, presence, and shear over the top style, and therefore making them a perfect starting point for Pininfarina's always gorgeous sheetmetal
Our take? Only a one off Pininfarina could truly be the equivalent of a pre-war coach built car in the current era.
