The SS debuted at the London Olympia Motor Show in 1931, it was a close-coupled coupe, and the first car that was designed by William Lyons. Revisions arrived in 1933 as Lyons came up with a much-improved radiator design and a new saloon body. He also showed this Drop Head and Airline Coupe designs. With the lower roofline, long bonnet and sporty design they looked much more expensive than they actually were. This car was initially purchased by Argentinian tango singer Ada Falcon. It was shipped to Argentina in 1936 and was transported back to Miami in 2016 after 80 years in Buenos Aires.
