My dad found this car at the local farm market. I feel bad because it’s the first car I’ve not been able to indentify for him. Help

*Update*: thanks JeepJeremy for being able to identify this car as an “Excalibur” and thanks to fintail for identifying this as an “Excalibur Series III”

Some sort of kit loosely based on the Mercedes 500K/540K, I would guess.

Excalibur series III, to be exact, from the late 70s. Identifiable by having more faired fenders, but still without roll up windows.

Why always so negative Steve?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > AC2 - The Now 15 Year Old Jalop 09/14/2017 at 23:32

He’s not a fan of Mercedes, and this is a shitty replica of a Mercedes.

It’s not just Mercedes than. Everytime I have a conversation with him it’s about how he doesn’t like something

Because my vision is 20/20 (corrected)?

And I often wonder ... just a straight 4 door sedan, who does it best? Mercedes ain’t bad, but there’s better to be had.

Never knew you also knew Excalibur minutiae.

I had a weird fixation on them when I was a kid, I even had a couple toy cars. Neoclassics and kit cars seemed interesting in the 80s.
