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 1968 Chevrolet Camaro blends classic first-generation styling with meaningful performance upgrades, creating a well-executed build with strong street presence.

Finished in black with white striping, the car maintains its vintage charm while incorporating modern performance enhancements, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts who want both style and power.
This 1982 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas represents the most luxurious specification available for the Series III XJ line, delivering British craftsmanship at its finest. Wearing a sleek black exterior over a beige Connolly leather cabin, it showcases the dignified proportions and Pininfarina-influenced styling that defined the era. The 4.2L EFI inline-6 provides the smooth, refined power Jaguar is known for, paired with a relaxed 3-speed automatic for effortless cruising. As the Vanden Plas flagship, this example elevates comfort, exclusivity, and finish quality far beyond the standard XJ6, making it an excellent choice for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a classic luxury sedan with true pedigree.
Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era. Subjected to a complete show-quality preservation showing under 100 miles since completion, it blends timeless Corvette heritage with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability while keeping the car’s classic character intact.
