Acquiring an actual, recognized, classic roadster from the 1930s can be an arduous ordeal. The first hurdle is likely the easiest: coming up with the cash one of those cars can command. Second is living with it. Much like a yacht or a vintage house, the maintenance is constant and expensive. Third is likely the paranoia that can accompany such a vehicle—the fear of traffic and door dings, assuming the car is actually used. All of these illuminate the benefits of neoclassic replicas, like this 1987 Excalibur Convertible.
Built on a more modern vehicle chassis with a contemporary drivetrain, cars like this can normally be driven daily without too much fear or worry, and with much more enjoyment. This one is fitted with a 5.0L V-8 engine and automatic transmission. Finished in white with red and gray pinstripes, the car features a black convertible top that closes over a red interior to create a cozy, romantic environment with bucket seats, a wooden dashboard with VDO gauges, a Sony AM/FM/Cass stereo system with a Blaupunkt graphic equalizer, and more. Passengers will enjoy the air conditioning, and everyone will be in awe over the classic styling.
