Our Fall Lineup!

We've had a great summer and are looking forward to what fall will be bringing on our lot. With the holidays right around the corner, we have a few great ideas of what you can get your loved one who is a car enthusiast (check out our coming soon cars at the bottom of this blog!) Want to know what's sold? We had a lot of movement on the lot this past August, check out these recent beauties who have found new homes!

RECENTLY SOLD!: 

August was an awesome month for us at Vintage Motor Cars, as we said goodbye to several beautiful vehicles. Such as our 1940 Packard Super Eight 160 Convertible Coupe, Model 1803! It had an immaculate red paint job and tan leather on the interior – a truly classic look. Kept in California all its life, this Packard was entirely rust-free with a cool running engine that can comfortable cruise at 65 mph. It also had received a myriad of updates including: a brand new top and top boot, new trunk carpet, rebuilt starter, vacuum advance, generator and distributor, new brakes and wheel cylinders, new trim rings and hubcaps, newer wiring harness, new battery and that’s just the beginning! This was a rare find and its new owner drove happily off in their new Super Eight!

 

We also said farewell to a gorgeous 1930 Chrysler Model 77 4-Door Sedan this August! This is truly what you think of when you imagine a clean, sleek classic vehicle. This particular one benefitted from a recent frame off restoration and the interior has been expertly kept. The interior hardware has also been kept in excellent shape. The chrome was replated with the exception of the spotlight, which kept its original chrome. Privacy window shades adorn the two rear windows behind the back doors as well as the rear window. With all gauges working and clear, this car made for the perfect family car, show car, or touring car. What more could you want? No wonder it was swept off our inventory!

Our 1984 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur “Lace Peacock” was arguably one of our most unique cars we had in our inventory. In August, a lucky owner drove off in this head-turner. The exterior color is named “lace peacock” and the inside was dressed in cream leather with red piping! This is not a car you see every day, and we are excited that someone was able to claim this as their own. Basically brand new, this Rolls had only 10,110 original miles when driven off our lot. Hand painted by the Bhagwan’s special artists, it has been meticulously maintained in excellent original condition. This car has a long history and story behind it that many cars don’t come with! We are sad to see this rare beauty go, but we know it has made our customer very happy!

NEW ON SITE!: 

New on our site for the month of September we have some absolutely gorgeous vehicles you’d be crazy not to check out! Our 1921 Stutz Series K 6-7 Passenger Tourer is now up on the site. A unique gray exterior paint pairs well with its red leather interior. Fun fact about this car is that only 35,000 of the first generation Stutz motor cars were produced in the 20 year history of the company. Meaning, this car is now considered a “full classic” by the Classic Car Club of America. In fact, this is the only 1921 Stutz 6-7 Tourer still existing today! This Stutz starts easily and has been fitted with an electric fuel pump. It cruises effortlessly down the road and is ready for any show or tour.

Another stunning find on our site this month is our 1961 Oldsmobile Super Eighty-Eight Convertible. This white beast is adorned in maroon vinyl interior which creates a beautiful contrast. Only 2,624 Super Eighty-Eight Convertibles were built in 1961, making this an extremely rare find – especially in such immaculate condition! Showing barely 38,000 original miles, this Olds is basically like new. A whisper-quiet engine and smooth shifting makes for an unforgettable ride. We are looking forward to handing the keys over to whoever the lucky new owner may be!

Talk about a car straight out of the high class 1920’s! Our 1921 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Cabriolet is sure to be swiped out of our inventory in no time! Rolls is known for its expertise in luxury vehicles – even in the 1920’s. Light blue and cream paint cover the outside while red leather adds a touch of elegance to the interior. This car has been restored in its lifetime and painted and lined by hand. The rebuild was completed in April of 1962, while the engine received an overhaul in 1992 and the convertible top was renewed in 1998. This car is in perfect condition and is the result of many years of love. The only reason its current owner has decided to part ways with it after 55 years of ownership, is that its current home of Switzerland, the car is not allowed to exceed their speed limit laws, but it could easily exceed them. Switzerland just isn’t doing this beauty justice and its owner has high hopes that elsewhere it could be driven like it’s really meant to be!

COMING SOON!:

What can you expect to see on our site in the coming month? We have a sleek 1914 Abbott-Detroit. This gorgeous vehicle is black on black and is sure to break necks as it slides onto our site and into your garage!

Another great car we can’t wait to have up on our site soon is a 1973 Volvo. The orange exterior means business and is made for a bold driver! If you want a car that blends in, this isn’t the car for you. Kept in near perfect condition, this Volvo is the perfect addition to any car collection!

Summer Time Rides!

Here at Vintage Motor Cars we are excited to announce our recently sold cars! We said goodbye to our 1967 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon. This particular trim style was the top trim level available during its production. This particular one, however, is in very user friendly condition. The exterior and interior are both in nice condition but could use some love. Luckily, there was a car owner interested in giving it all the love it needs. It is in fine driving condition and even holds up to nine passengers! All the bells and whistles work on it and is now with its happy new owner!

Another car we sold was our 1949 Mercury Station Wagon. Sitting atop four Firestone Super Champion whitewall tires, this burgundy beast was originally intended to be a Ford. However, before plans were finalized, the car was “promoted” to a Mercury. Ford eventually went on to make a similar version anyway. Although it appears much larger than the Ford version, it’s still the same 118 inch wheelbase. This particular model is also more rare than its competitors and highly sought after by collectors. That’s why this one was a lucky buy for its owner! Fully restored and beautifully finished, it’s going to be a sight to see flying down the road! 

New on our site we have our 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V Bill Blass Edition with only 16,786 of its original miles! On top of the low mileage is the low price of just $22,900! This luxury coupe was sold by Lincoln from 1977 to 1979 and was eventually replaced by a newer model. For the 1978 model, a larger radiator was added, the 400 engine was detuned for better fuel economy and a full imitation convertible “carriage roof” top was added and an LED “Miles to Empty” gauge became a new revolutionary option. This car is completely original, down to its Goodyear Custom radial tires. This Lincoln has been in the same family since it was new! It’s a perfect car in every way and an excellent example of all this car was meant to be, and now it can be yours!

Available now, a 1941 Packard 160 Sedan! Also known as the Nineteenth Series, the line of 1941 Packard’s continued the same styling and modernism that were born during 1940, as well as a myriad of detail updates. They have a hearty power train, independent front suspension and surprisingly smooth ride. Because of all this, these models are still highly desired today as they have sustained drive ability, usability quality and timeless character. Check out this beauty when it comes up on our site and be the first to get your hands on the wheel!

April Showers Bring May Cars!

SOLD IN APRIL: 

We are excited to announce the cars Vintage Motor Cars sold last month! It’s a great start to kick off the summer with many more unique vehicles to be sold. Sold in April was our 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe. This burgundy beauty sports maroon leather interior and a one-of-a-kind grille. Its graceful curves and make this particular vehicle truly magnificent. This Cadillac is stocked with a 150-horsepower V8 engine, creating a surprisingly smooth and comfortable ride. Despite its age, it has never seen rust! Our 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe is decked out with all the bells and whistles making this vintage luxury vehicle, still running in all its timeless beauty today with its new, lucky owner!

Another gorgeous vehicle we said goodbye to in April was our 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible. The combination of the white exterior with the red leather interior creates a stunning contrast. This car was actually built as a celebration of Buick’s 50^th anniversary and is considered a specialty vehicle and definitely provides bragging rights to the new owner! This vehicle is equipped with a V8 engine producing 220-horsepower. The classic white-wall tires are hugged by 40-spoke Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, creating a look that can’t be ignored. This 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible is the product from a frame-up restoration – engine included. It even has power windows and a power top and radio! The entire car is in mint condition and left our customers surely driving away with a smile!

NEW CARS FOR MAY:

We are eager to introduce our new cars for the month of May! We have an excellent collection available for anyone interested in purchasing their very own vintage vehicle! In fact, this month we will have available a 1912 Ford Model T. These cars are arguably the most interesting Model T style cars; there were 5 different styles. The 1912 Ford Model T marked a transition from the old to the new Model T, because starting with this year’s model, the whole body was no longer an open style, but instead sported three doors – two in the back on both sides and one on the passenger side, and the driver side still remained open. This is truly a special Model T to own!

Also, be sure you don’t miss out on our 1931 Packard Model 833 Sport Phaeton this May! This Packard has been restored and no longer has the frame, as most originals do. It has been converted into a soft top convertible, making this car even more unique than others of its kind. Its beige exterior paired with red striping down the sides and red tires really make this vehicle a show stopper. The gleaming chrome emblem on the hood is the icing on the cake of this one-of-a-kind restored 1931 Packard Model 833 Sport Phaeton.

In 1962 Ford produced only 1,427 Thunderbird Sports Roadsters, and this May you could be the owner of one of the few! Included are Kelsey-Hayes tires and a fiberglass cover over the back, creating a seamless two-seater design. A special feature that is unique to Thunderbirds is the slide-away steering wheel, which allows the driver to move the wheel 18 inches to the side to create easier in and out access to the vehicle. Its V8 engine produces 300 horsepower to the vehicle. Take one look at this vehicle and you’ll see yourself driving away in it in no time!

We will have available this month also a 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix. This car has 13,902 of the original miles! This stunner has a ginger brown exterior paint job with golden pin striping, topped with a sandstone vinyl roof. The grille on this Pontiac and the vertical bars on the tail lights make the stamp on the 1975 Grand Prix. Carefully maintained and kept in a heated garage, this little piece of history has never seen a winter and absolutely everything on it is original besides the battery and tires! Anyone would be lucky to be the proud second owner of this perfectly preserved 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix for just $17,900.

If you’re in the market for a sleek, classy vehicle this summer, we are offering the perfect car for you this May! We have a 1937 Cadillac Convertible. The contrast of the bright blue exterior paint job against the white wall tires and white convertible top catch any eye! Chrome fenders and silver striping down the sides are the finishing touches on, creating the luxurious look and feel we’ve come to expect from the Cadillac. Not only does the outside have a gorgeous appearance, but it’s also decked out with black leather interior to make its proud owner feel like a million bucks cruising around in this 1937 Cadillac Convertible.

COMING IN JUNE: 

Fresh on the site, we have a 1920 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost for sale! It has classic combination of a red exterior with black interior as well as white painted wheels. Producing a total of 7,874 cars for just 19 years, this Rolls-Royce is one of many still on the road today and still widely operating; proving just how well-designed this vehicle is. It’s given the name “Silver Ghost” not due to its color, but due to its quietness. This particular Rolls was also the beginning of the company claiming to create the “best car in the world,” and clearly they weren’t far off, considering Rolls-Royce is still one of the most envied and well known luxury car brands. An astounding 1,500 of these particular vehicles still exist today, and you could be the owner of one of them!

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!
