👉 Hooper (coachbuilder) in the context of Rolls-Royce Phantom V

The Rolls-Royce Phantom V is a large four-door limousine produced by Rolls-Royce Limited from 1959 to 1968. Based on the Silver Cloud II, it shares a V8 engine and Rolls-Royce Hydramatic automatic gearbox (manufactured under license from General Motors by Rolls-Royce) with that model. Rolls-Royce built the cars' chassis and drivetrains, with bodies mainly made to standard designs by coachbuilders Park Ward, Mulliner Park Ward and James Young, former vendors absorbed by Rolls-Royce. Other coachbuilders, including Hooper, Henri Chapron and Woodall Nicholson, built one or two bodies each on Phantom V chassis.

The engine is a 6,230 cc 90-degree V8 with twin SU carburettors, coupled to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car has massive drum brakes and a wheelbase of 3,683 mm. Power assisted steering was standard.

Hooper (coachbuilder) in the context of Unibody

A vehicle frame, also historically known as its chassis, is the main supporting structure of a motor vehicle to which all other components are attached, comparable to the skeleton of an organism.

Until the 1930s, virtually every car had a structural frame separate from its body, known as body-on-frame construction. Both mass production of completed vehicles by a manufacturer using this method, epitomized by the Ford Model T, and supply of rolling chassis to coachbuilders for both mass production (as by Fisher Body in the United States) and to smaller firms (such as Hooper) for bespoke bodies and interiors was practiced.
