Exterior & Interior
The Excalibur Phaeton presents the unmistakable silhouette that made the marque famous: sweeping fenders, exposed side exhaust pipes, dual side‑mounted spare wheels, chrome wire wheels, and a long, elegant bonnet. The fiberglass bodywork of the Series III cars is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, and this example shows clean lines and well‑preserved chrome and trim.

 

The interior offers comfortable seating for four, with classic instrumentation and period‑correct detailing throughout. The inclusion of both soft and hard tops, along with the side windows, provides excellent year‑round versatility. Whether driven open or closed, the Phaeton delivers a unique blend of vintage charm and modern usability.

 

Mechanical Condition
Powered by the robust Chevrolet 454 cubic‑inch (7.4L) V8, the car delivers smooth, effortless torque and relaxed cruising. The TH400 automatic transmission shifts cleanly, and the Corvette‑derived suspension and four‑wheel disc brakes provide secure handling and braking performance. The recent Danish Technical Inspection (May 2026) confirms the car’s strong mechanical health and roadworthiness.

 

Model History
The Excalibur story began in the 1960s with renowned industrial designer Brooks Stevens, who envisioned a modern interpretation of the legendary 1928 Mercedes‑Benz SSK. Built in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Excalibur automobiles were handcrafted luxury cars that combined vintage European styling with reliable American engineering.

 

The Series III generation (1975–1980) introduced a strengthened ladder frame, improved suspension, and the powerful 454 V8. The Phaeton was the flagship body style—an elegant four‑seat convertible that captured the glamour of 1920s motoring while offering the comfort and drivability of a modern car. With limited production and meticulous craftsmanship, Series III Phaetons remain highly distinctive and increasingly appreciated by collectors.
