GENERAL INFO
The 44 would move forward with the Rolls-Royce range with the 44B Rolls-Royce Phantom V. The very first box to carry it, however, would show the model in blue, a color that was never made for this model in mass production. The size 5 D2 box had the NEW MODEL on end flaps and was soon replaced by and E1 box. This time, the box shows the model in a common grey color, and white targets would show the opening trunk and suspension. The E1 box came in three different top/bottom color schemes.
The last box for this model is an E3. The model this time is lilac. Like the D2 box, all E boxes were made in size 5.
RARITY
The NEW model can be less easy to find. The E3 is also a bit less common, but we are far from talking about any rare box, here.
