Help with a rare car..

I saw this weird car the other day on the way to work...
White, very long, definitely an old car. Looked like the front end of a Rolls-Royce. Very nice and it was quite long and pretty low to the ground. Any suggestions on what this MIGHT be?

what did the grill look like, what was the general shape of the grill? Any colored emblams toward the top of the radiator?

Maybe an 80's Jaguar XJ? How old? Better description?

Something to the effect of this:


I really don't know sor sure but know I can almost positively say it was an early Rolls Royce.

Well as long as we are looking at older cars....i saw a few a while back on a roadtrip that i haven't looked at hard enough to identify. First one looks like Hitlers car or something....




This one was kinda badass, but found another pic that had the lisence plate, and figured out what it was. Apparently the Clenet was a mid-late 70's car...not nearly as old as it looks. the 75 had a huge 460 in it, making a whopping 208 HP. Top speed of 120 mph.






But yeah... i am not quite sure what that first car is.
