...three people. As they are chauffeured deep into the Cheshire countryside, the passengers quiz the driver about the car, watch the passing hedgerows or simply sink blissfully into the leathery smells. After 60 circuitous miles, they return to the building and take a lingering look as the $98,000 sedan collects three more of Rolls' 3,800 employees for the pleasure trip they are entitled to under company policy. "I knew I'd ride in a Rolls one day," says Jack Goodwin, 62, a gearbox builder at the firm since 1938, "but I assumed I'd be in a wooden...
...luxury auto market, Britain offers the sporty, two-door Rolls-Royce Corniche at $156,000 and the road-hugging Aston Martin Lagonda sedan at $150,000. Last week in Denver, Auto Dealer Jerry Morris unveiled his own very different vision of automotive high life, American-style.

For snazziness and corporate profligacy, Detroit has not equaled itself since. The introduction of a sporty new sedan, orchestrated by Iacocca, typified the wonderful wantonness. In 1966 he sailed dozens of Lincoln-Mercury dealers to the Virgin Islands, where after a meal on a beach at sunset, an amphibious landing craft thrashed ashore. Out onto the sand popped a brand-new white Cougar driven by Singer Vic Damone, who proceeded to croon...
