What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The white paint job only serves as a facilitator for conveying the iconic looks of the Excalibur, as witnessed on this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. The car’s overall design is quintessentially 1920s, from the podded headlamps and external horns, to the running boards and simulated externally-mounted spare wheels. As you gaze upon the vehicle’s side profile, its distinctively more modern underpinnings become somewhat apparent, the most notable of which is its four-door body. But as you move towards the rear, it once again takes on a Twenties persona. The car rolls on whitewall tires and spoked wheels with real spokes, we’re told. The interior of this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica is distinctively Eighties Mercury. You’ve got red upholstery, power windows, power front seats, air conditioning, a relatively modern looking dashboard and gauges, a radio, and even a CD player from Sony. You’ve also got plenty of chrome bits and wood trim, adding that signature Eighties luxury touch.
The engine that moves this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica is a 5.0L naturally aspirated V8, paired with an automatic transmission for an easy-driving experience. The car also has front disc and rear drum brakes for ample stopping power. So take an easy cruise down the street, and turn heads at every corner with this car.

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 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan represents a pinnacle of the "Tuner Era," being a GM-commissioned, factory-authorized supercar built by Knudsen Automotive to challenge European exotics. This specific survivor is exceptionally significant due to its all-original, unrestored condition with only over 63,000 miles shown, and its provenance as a special-order vehicle delivered to Stadium Pontiac in Anaheim. Equipped with high-end performance features like a Gale Banks suspension, Gotti wheels, and Recaro leather, this chassis serves as a documented benchmark for the model, having been featured in Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine. It is a rare "investment grade" example of 1980s engineering, distinguishing itself from contemporary kit cars as a legitimate, limited-production performance icon.
