The original Thomas Crown Affair was the first movie that gave us a good look at
Steve McQueen as an automobile enthusiast and capable stunt driver. One of three interesting cars in the
film, this ’67 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Coupe was the perfect transport for Thomas Crown, millionaire
businessman and bank robber. McQueen never owned this car, although he did own a similar Corniche
convertible a decade later. The Thomas Crown Rolls is currently in the Petersen Automotive Museum collection.
