This is listed as a 1954 Bentley R type Continental but it looks quite large in this photo. I be inclined to think that it’s an S1 model. Rather gorgeous whatever. The fog lights doubled as front indicators on these early models and it’s lhd.

Ashbel Green, valedictorian of the Princeton Class of 1783, was president of the institution from 1812-1822. Reflecting on his first address to the students, he wrote, “...some of them shed tears. This greatly encouraged me; but the appearance was delusive or fugitive. Notwithstanding all the arrangements I had made, and all the pains I had taken to convince them that their own good and the best interests of the institution were my only aim, I had the mortification to find that the majority of them seemed bent on mischief."
