This series introduces cars that Yujiro loved during his lifetime, along with cars that appeared in the Western Police dramas. One of these cars is the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.

The Silver Shadow, which appeared as the successor to the Silver Cloud, was Rolls-Royce's first monocoque body. While its styling is a traditional three-box design, it measures over 5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, and its traditional front grille, modeled after the Parthenon, gives it an impressive presence.

The interior is just as dazzling as the dignified exterior, with red seats, white leather ceiling, and walnut trim on the instrument panel. Its luxurious and alluring atmosphere is fitting for Yujiro, who lived a life of glamour.

The car is equipped with a V8 OHV engine. Its displacement was originally 6.2L, but was later expanded to 6.7L. Eventually, the compression ratio was lowered to make it compatible with unleaded gasoline, and it also met Japan's 1976 exhaust gas regulations.

This particular car, which was Yujiro's favorite, was the final model to comply with the 6.7L exhaust gas regulations. With just 17,000km on the clock, it is an exquisite car, with its jet-black body and red interior in excellent condition. It was thoroughly cleaned in preparation for display at the museum, and its excellent condition clearly shows how much Yujiro loved it.

Yujiro was said to have loved the tradition, elegance, and sturdiness of his perfectionist Rolls-Royces, and he enjoyed driving them not only in the back seat but also behind the wheel himself.

The interior makes extensive use of walnut panels, creating a unique atmosphere. The shift selector is located on the right side of the steering column.

Under the large hood is a V8 6.7L LOHV engine known as the L410A type. Models prior to the 1969 exhaust gas regulations were equipped with a 6.2L unit.
