The North American International Auto Show is kicking into to gear this week in Detroit. If you love cars here’s an automobile story for you from 2013. It was two years ago that the 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow used by Freddie Mercury until his death in November 1991, sold at auction for over $90,000 to a Russian businessman. The 62,000-mile Rolls-Royce featured grey leather, wood trim, electric windows, automatic gearbox, a car phone and radio cassette player and a 6.75-litre V8 engine. Talk about one cool ride.
