Excalibur…that’s not an automotive brand that many have heard of. Things get even more confusing when you set eyes upon this machine via our photos. The bottom half of it looks like something from the 1920s. The top half is decidedly more modern, and the title says it’s a 1989 Excalibur Series V Sedan. Well, you see, the Excalibur is a car that is designed to look like a 1920s automobile but based on something decidedly more modern. This Milwaukee-based company has been at it from the 1960s, right up until 1990. Although as you can imagine, they didn’t exactly sell massive volumes. Production volumes are estimated at over 3,500, but actual figures are hard to come by. So, if you want an American curio to grace your driveway, this 1989 Excalibur Series V Sedan with its 17,600 miles is a great candidate. We’re told that the car has documented mileage and includes its owner's manual.
Exterior and Interior
The clean white paint job of this 1989 Excalibur Series V Sedan is a great way to showcase its quirkiness. You’ve got podded headlamps, plenty of chrome, actual wire wheels with new whitewall tires, four prominent horns, external running boards, and what appear to be simulated external spare wheels. It’s all very ostentatious in an almost cartoonish way, but that makes for one head-turning vehicle! The interior of this 1989 Excalibur Series V Sedan is trimmed in burgundy and looks decidedly more modern. You’ve got power-adjustable front seats, a radio with a CD player, a digital clock, air conditioning, power windows, and all the creature comforts you’d expect from an '80s car, including the plush seats with armrests. Even the gauge cluster is clearly from the '80s, but done up in a silver and black theme to give it a classic vibe. Ash trays are present for front and rear passengers, harking back to a time when smoking in cars was very much a part of life. This car even has cruise control, operated via steering wheel-mounted buttons.
Engine
This 1989 Excalibur Series V Sedan comes with a 5.0L V8 under the hood, driving the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox. The vehicle has received a new battery as well. We’re told that it has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, ensuring adequate stopping power.
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 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.
