About Park Ward

 

Park Ward was a British coachbuilder founded in 1919 and known for its technical advances allowing the manufacturing of all-steel bodies used on Rolls-Royce models. In the early 1920s, Park Ward was making bodies for a variety of makes and became associated with Bentley in Cricklewood. Rolls-Royce took a stake in Park Ward after the manufacturer acquired Bentley in 1931. Park Ward continued to build special coachwork after World War II and their all-steel technology was used by Rolls-Royce to make the Mark VI model. Rolls-Royce bought Park Ward in 1939 and the firm became part of the Mulliner – Park Ward group in 1961.

 

Park Ward Classic Bentley Coachbuild Seller’s Guide

Manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley used to deliver their models to customers as rolling chassis, and the client would then commission an independent coachbuilder to create the body and interior of the new car with their preferences. This resulted in many very unique classic car designs being made until the 1960s. The model made by Park Ward for Captain Cuthbert W. Foster, heir to the Bird’s Custard fortune, was one of the more famous bodies. Exposed at the national auto museum in France, the car was a Bugatti Royale.
