Happy
New Year from Vintage Motor Cars! 2015 was a great year, and we’re hoping 2016
will be even better. We sold several cars at the end of 2015 and the beginning
of 2016.
We sold our beautiful 1939 LaSalle Series 50 Opera Coupe. This
LaSalle was a rare and desirable model that had been excellently maintained. The
1939 LaSalle has been a favorite of car collectors, as Cadillac built it with
rigorous standards of quality and performance.
We also sold our 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe. This car’s
aesthetic is fabulous and exudes style and grace. Even today, the car handles
and rides beautifully, and because of the quality, immediate pre-war era
Cadillacs make great choices for car enthusiasts and collectors who enjoy
driving.
Our 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Station
Wagon Model 69A also sold recently. Ford was the first U.S. automaker to resume
production at the end of World War II. Due to shifting engineering and
development priorities during the war, 1946 Fords didn’t feature major
differences than the 1942 models. As demand increased after the war, Ford set a
new record for station wagons in 1946, building 16,920 of them, all in the
Super Deluxe line.
Our 1974 Jaguar XKE Roadster
Survivor also sold recently. This car, also known as the Jaguar E-Type,
combined style and performance to create a mass-produced “supercar.” Malcolm
Sayer, an aerodynamic engineer, designed the car. In addition to offering
speed, the car also excelled in performance and handling. The car had just over
24,000 miles and was in pristine condition when it was sold.
We also recently sold our 1975
Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet produced this specific model, the Chevrolet
Corvette C3 for the 1968 through 1982 model years. The C3 is the third
generation of the Chevrolet Corvette and set new sales records with 53,807
produced for the 1979 model year. The 1975 model was advertised as “a more
efficient Corvette.” A 7.7 zero to 60 time in a 1975 base engine-automatic made
it one of the fastest cars available at the time.
2016 is starting off in a very
exciting way here at Vintage Motor Cars! Soon, we will be getting a 1931
Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental. Check our Facebook page and website for
