psdenno Posted July 12, 2015 Share #14 Posted July 12, 2015 The Neo-Classic car fad was fun to watch while it lasted. Builders tried to outdo one another with chrome fake side exhaust pipes, floating headlights, various chrome grille shells, and other signs of faux opulence. My favorite, however, wasn't built as a Liberace-mobile. It was the Excalibur, designed by Brooks Stevens. OK, he also designed the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, but the Excalibur was a real car built as a prototype for Studebaker. The original was a cool two seater powered by a Paxton supercharged Avanti engine. When Studebaker didn't pick it up, production went private and several thousand were built over the years. Unfortunately, over the years, it did change from a cool powerful roadster into more of a Liberace-mobile a bit like the Spartan.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav240z Posted July 13, 2015 Share #17 Posted July 13, 2015 Neo Classic? How about chandeliers and a disco ball? Haha, escape from New York, the year is 1997 . I love that film though, not so much Escape from LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share #18 Posted July 13, 2015 Haha!! Yeah, that film is one of my all time favorites as well, and I agree with you about Escape from LA. I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually made a version of that car after seeing the movie. A little scared, but not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
