Taking inspiration from the classic pre-war lines of Mercedes-Benz sports cars, the Excalibur Automobile Corporation was established in 1964 by Brooks Stevens in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They produced what was then labeled “The Contemporary Classic” automobile, with classic looks and modern reliability. All cars were built on custom steel frames and utilized a Chevrolet Corvette drivetrain and suspension. Then Vice President of the company, William Stevens, told the New York Times in 1975 that their product was “for the man or woman who wants a fun machine with antique class.” At its peak, Excalibur was the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the United States, and the company produced a little over 3, 200 cars between 1965 and 1989. Their quality and class attracted numerous famous owners, including Roberto Duran, Dick Van Dyke, Tony Curtis, Shirley Jones, Sonny & Cher, Dean Martin, Jackie Gleason, Paul Harvey, Jay Leno, Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Foreman, and numerous others.
The magnificent 1979 Excalibur Series III Roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous Arctic White over a Tan interior with a matching removable hardtop. This incredible motorcar is one of the few two-seat roadsters produced, making this one of the most sought-after Excalibur’s on the market today. We are proud to offer this investment-grade example to the most sophisticated collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this great American iconic motorcar.
