Historic Austin: 1931 Rolls Royce Owned by Roy Butler and Floyd L. Raymond
Below this picture on a facebook page, the dialogue below is pretty intriguing. Mention of a Nash dealership, Butler Chevrolet, a Pontiac dealership, Roy Butler Lincoln Mercury, and, most tantalizingly one from Whit Adams: “I’m guessing that it is not the one Roy stashed next to the pool at the Four Seasons as a gift for his wife!” Love to hear more about old Austin car dealerships and, especially, this Rolls, and the one “Roy” stashed for his wife. Also, who’s Floyd Raymond?
Driving by the Butler house at 1 Niles Road on Friday, I noticed a Cadillac had replaced the tan or brown Rolls I’d seen for decades in the driveway. I would’ve expected a Lincoln.
Make that 2 Niles Road.
