Quote "Boardwalk Empire" prop master had to go treasure hunting

A new paint job and shades were required to turn an antique Rolls Royce found in a barn into a vehicle suitable for Nucky Thompson on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire"

Property master Tommy Allen is responsible for tracking down many of the items that bring the HBO series to life. If a script calls for, say, a 1920s-era hearse, it’s his job to find it — rent it, make it or buy it. One day he was asked to find a vintage seaplane for a scene scheduled to shoot two days later. He didn’t find one. But that’s the rare case.

Allen had a lead on a 1920s Rolls in England when he came upon a possible vehicle in rural Maine. Kept in a barn, the maroon and black auto was perfect. Some rehab work later — including a new, blue, paint job and custom shades — and Nucky’s ride was ready to roll.

From the headlights I think it is an early Springfield Ghost.

Beware 1.01 has all the cars and an impressive production to get you hooked, the rest of the series is much more indoor scenes. :D

This might be a 1922 model…but, in the show it’s supposed to be 1920. However, this car was probably close enough for the time period that production went with it. Still pretty awesome!
