Here’s a name that we’re betting, most of you don’t know about. American Bantam was an automaker that was founded in 1935 by Roy Evans. The company was formed by the purchase of American Austin by Evans and William A. Ward Jr. In fact, American Bantam was one of the companies that was tasked with designing a light military off-roader, a vehicle that we now know as the Willys Jeep. But, this storied company did so much more than that. They also made coupes, convertibles and station wagons. So, if you want to own a classic car that will definitely have people inquiring about, consider buying this rare 1938 American Bantam Model 60 Roadster that’s up for sale. We’re told that it bears a mileage of 3,100 and comes with all maintenance up to date.
The distinctive thirties styling of this 1938 American Bantam Model 60 Roadster is perfectly embodied by its two-tone yellow and black paint job. In fact, you can see how other automakers may have been inspired by its design elements, particularly the front end. Then, you’ll note podded headlamps, whitewall tires (including a rear-mounted whitewall spare wheel), and running boards. The rear wheels are faired in as was in vogue at the time, and this 1938 American Bantam Model 60 Roadster comes with a tan convertible top too. The interior of this 1938 Bantam Model 60 Roadster features red leather upholstery, with a broad bench seat for two adults to easily occupy. The door cards are also upholstered in red leather, while the dashboard sports the same yellow as the exterior. Furthermore, this 1938 Bantam Model 60 Roadster provides you with gauges, including a speedometer, fuel level indicator, ammeter and oil pressure gauge. Don’t’ expect any creature comforts or technological toys, though.
The tiny in-line 4-cylinder engine that this 1938 American Bantam Model 60 Roadster packs is a mere 0.75 liters in displacement! Amazing stuff, and it drives the rear wheels through a 3-speed manual transmission. Some research tells us that the engine made around 20 horsepower, which was enough for a 60mph top speed. These days, it’s rather more appropriate to take things easy, and enjoy the cruise at a leisurely pace.

Vintage Fords seem to take two forms these days. Pristinely-restored classics with true to original form, or wacky hot rods that change nearly everything.

Now up for grabs in Carnation, Washington with 24,308 miles on the odometer, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a car from the 1930s with modern features such as a sound system, automatic gearbox and heating.
DeSoto is an American brand that you’ve likely never heard of, especially if you were born in the 1970s or later.
