The story of Excalibur is interesting. Initially styled by Brooks Stevens for Studebaker, Stevens subsequently formed a company to produce the cars himself. Built in Wisconsin, it’s estimated that over 3,500 examples of this neo-classic automobile were made until 1990, even though the company folded in 1986 and was subsequently revived for a short time thereafter. Excalibur’s unique selling point was to offer classic 1920s and 1930s styling paired with modern mechanicals and creature comforts at the time. Today, we’ve got one of these curious cars for sale, a 1975 Excalibur Series III Phaeton from Edgerton, Wisconsin, with 56,178 miles on the clock. Let us tell you more about this car and why you should snap it up if you’ve got an eye for, and a desire to own unconventional pieces of American automotive history.
This 1975 Excalibur Series III Phaeton might look like a 1920s Mercedes-Benz SSK because that’s the look that Brooks Stevens was going for with the Excalibur. So, it’s got external headlamp pods, running boards, prominent wheel arches, white-striped tires, wire-effect wheels and of course, that opulent silhouette. The body is fiberglass with aluminum panels, and the car sports a modern convertible hood too, making it easier to drive in hot sun or rain. You’ll also notice some components such as Volkswagen Beetle rear lighting clusters which add turn signals and reversing lamps to this otherwise vintage-styled car. The interior of this 1975 Excalibur Series III Phaeton features a real wood dashboard, tan leather seats, and relatively modern convenience features such as air conditioning. It’s a four-seat affair with a rear bench plus two individually adjustable front seats, and feels quite modern as a result. You’ve also got plenty of instrumentation which once again, is not commonly found in cars from the 1920s and 1930s. As for luggage, there’s enough space in a compartment styled to look like an externally-mounted trunk.
Powering this 1975 Excalibur Series III Phaeton is a massive 454ci Chevy V8, hooked up to a Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic gearbox. The car is rear-wheel drive as you’d expect. Braking is via front power-assisted discs and rear drums. So, it’s actually quite easy to drive.

Are you someone who is ready to dip their toes into the classic car world, or a Chevrolet enthusiast who is missing a lovely Chevelle in their collection? Whichever you are, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is a perfect pick for you. The Chevelle only saw three generations; however, it was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Most enthusiasts believe that the second generation was the peak of this desirable classic. Lucky for you, our subject car belongs to the second generation as well, and these are known to be reliable classic cars. It is currently located in Anderson, California, and ready to transport you back to the good old ‘60s.
Coronet is one of those names from Dodge that the current generation won’t know about, but the previous one definitely will. This nameplate floated around Dodge’s hierarchy for a few decades, moving between the automaker’s full size and mid size offerings. It was made as a coupe, convertible, sedan, station wagon and even a elongated 8-person limousine in early iterations. Now, we’ve got a nice fifth-generation 1967 Dodge Coronet for sale, from the period when the Coronet was a midsize car. This particular car is something of a restomod and resides in Anderson, California. Oh, and it’s quite suitable to go racing in, as well as own and cherish. Let’s learn more.
To be an automotive icon one would have to challenge the norm - give car buyers a chance to think out of what they know and fall in love at the same time. Turn back the clock to the 60s and thats exactly what Chevrolet did with the release of its 3rd installation of its legendary Corvette marque. It was the astronauts' chosen machine, a hollywood mainstay and the reason why most automotive dealerships saw a lot of footfall. Present today is an American automotive icon and takes shape with this legendary 1964 Chevrolet Corvette.
