About the brand ❤️
Excalibur was an American automobile brand best known for producing neoclassical luxury cars that combined vintage 1920s–1930s styling with modern mechanical components. Created in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1965 by the family of industrial designer Brooks Stevens, Excalibur vehicles were inspired by classics like the Mercedes‑Benz SSK and featured powerful V8 engines and handcrafted bodywork. Over 3,500 cars were produced, often sold as roadsters or phaetons, attracting celebrities and enthusiasts. The company faced financial struggles and filed for bankruptcy in the late 1980s; although attempts were made to restart production, series manufacturing ceased by 1990, with the final cars built into the mid‑1990s. Excaliburs remain collectible today for their distinctive retro design and rarity, often seen at classic car shows and auctions.
