Rolls-Royce Phantom (VII)

The Rolls-Royce Phantom (VII) is a full-size luxury sedan made by Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom from 2003 to 2017. Its weirdest quirk: Teflon-coated umbrellas live in compartments built into the rear doors, designed so the umbrella and its slot dry out quickly.

The first Rolls-Royce of the BMW era, with rear-hinged "coach doors" and an umbrella hidden inside each rear door, ready for when the chauffeur lets you out into the rain.
