This 1967 Rolls-Royce was photographed on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A. on March 31, 2011.

This movie car was personally driven by Steve McQueen, accompanied by his co-star Faye Dunaway who played 'Vicki Anderson', the sexy insurance investigator determined to get her man.

The stylish Rolls-Royce, which was one of the most expensive cars in the world when new, projected an aura of success and sophistication that helped set the tone of the film and define the character of Thomas Crown.
