Heating up on the Lot!

Summer may be wrapping up, but our lot is still hot! With several beauties sold this past month and some exciting new additions coming, here is our August roundup!

RECENTLY SOLD: 

We let our stunning 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner go to a happy new owner last month! This beautiful car has a light blue paint job with a white accent on top, paired with a blue and white leatherette interior. This 2-door hardtop body style also has an integrated acrylic glass panel over the front seating area. The glass has a blue-green tint, creating a soft diffused light that filters out 60% of the sun rays! 13,144 of these cars were sold in one year of production! This particular one is completely restored and includes a new and improved engine. Although they initially were overwhelmingly popular, today they are relatively rare and sought after in the car collector market. We were sad to see it go, but happy to have made someone’s collection even better!

Another lovely car we sold last month was a 1923 Nash Model 691 5-Passenger Touring Car. Not only is this Nash a gorgeous deep green, it benefited from a frame-off restoration including a new top and side curtains. Additionally, it was equipped with an OHV 6-cylinder engine and was recently serviced and ready to drive! Adding to its original charm, this Nash is complete with a period accessory spotlight with review mirror attached and mounted to the left windshield frame. The front bumper also is an authentic accessory! Nine decades old, this beauty runs like new and was more than ready to be driven off with its new owner!

NEW ON SITE: 

New on the Vintage Motor Cars site for the month of August is our 1923 Ford Model T Speedster. For a great deal of just $24,900, you can take home this timeless vehicle. Its cream exterior and contrasting black leather interior create a classic look. Complete with brass headlamps, a dropped front axle, Rocky Mountain brakes, a modern coil, distributor and an electric starter have all been added. What more could you ask for? Adding a finishing touch to this Ford is a monocle windshield! You’d be crazy NOT to add it to your collection!

 

You think you’ve seen a true head-turner? Not until you’ve seen our 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster new on our site this month! Gorgeous with ragoon red on the outside and beige vinyl adorning the inside, a fiberglass tonneau cover fits over the rear seat of the four-seater convertible to give it the appearance of a two-seater with a very long rear deck. The cover was designed so as to not interfere with the convertible top’s operation – smart thinking! Also, for your convenience, this Ford has a swing away steering wheel – to allow the driver to enter and exit the car with ease; how awesome is that? Rust free with 30,714 miles prove its virtually flawless and ready for a ride with its new owner!

COMING SOON: 

If you’ve been waiting to find the perfect vehicle to jump on to add to your collection, wait no longer! Soon we will have available for you a 1966 Jaguar XKE. Its combination of beauty, high performance, and competitive pricing crowned this model an icon of 1960’s vehicle manufacturing. This sleek, red road monster is sure to break necks as your fly by! Be sure to check it out as soon as it’s on the site!

Springing Forward!

It was a busy winter at Vintage Motor Cars, but we’re ready for spring and the nice weather that comes with it! Soon, it will be time to take your vintage car out of storage and show it off or drive around in your convertible with the top down.

We recently sold some really interesting cars, including a replica 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen. This car has incredible and accurate detail to it. One of our favorite things about this Benz is its beautifully finished woodwork, polished brass, and perfect paintwork. This piece truly is a work of art! The good news is if you're interested in purchasing a Benz like this we have coming soon another one with no miles!

Our 1942 Packard Super Eight 160 Convertible Coupe, Model 2023, is another car sold recently. This car featured a shiny, deep red paint job and an accurate, beautifully finished interior. By 1942, the 160 adopted Clipper styling for its 127-inch wheelbase cars in both the club sedan and touring sedan body styles. In fact, the convertible coupe remained the only traditionally styled Packard for that chassis, and given the end of production brought about by America’s involvement in World War II, remains a very desirable collector car.

We also sold our 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe Convertible. The car was restored about a decade ago and features gorgeous red leather in the interior. The Special Deluxe came loaded with features, including an AM radio and heater in a time before such things were standard. The car also featured a fully functional power convertible top. The car handled well and was a great deal!

Spring doesn’t bring just great weather, but new cars here at Vintage Motor Cars, too! We have two great new cars coming soon! They are a 1964 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limo (live now on the site), and a 1966 Jaguar E-Type Roadster! Be sure to check our website for updates!

Starting Our Engines in 2016!

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 more details!
