59 would be a Silver Cloud 1. One of the mints did sedan. Wraith originally was a 50-54 also was a lwb variant of the Silver Shadow after 77.5. 
Franklin did 55-59 Cloud 1

As far as know, no Silver Wraiths. Franklin Mint had a 1/24 1955 Silver Cloud I in Oyster Grey & Mason's Black and a second Limited Edition release in White. They can be found on eBay. The Oyster Grey one is much cheaper and a good condition one can be found for as little as $40 plus shipping. Repairable or top of the shelf versions for far less than that. The White one is a Limited Edition so it commands a higher price when they do come to eBay $500 plus. Have patience and steer clear of the buy it nows unless they're a good deal!

An alternate, but similar version is the Franklin Mint 1/24 1955 Bentley S-1. The biggest problem I've had with these, is paint rash to the point of total destruction, destroyed hood ornaments and broken antennas.

Here's mine, I got it cheap, because it needed repairs. The hood ornament is missing it's wings, only the B is left intact.

Didn't Hubley do one of these in plastic way back in the sixties? I think someone else re released it a number of years ago. it was a full plastic kit as opposed to Hubleys Diecast and plastic hybrids.

Yup. I have a couple old ones. Very simple kit that was originally released back in 1960.

It was also reissues by Entex, Revell , Minicraft and Masterkit.

Sorry, no.  They're a couple rebuilders. I never bothered to take any pics of them.

I have the Minicraft version of the Silver Cloud.
