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!

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!

April Showers Bring May Cars!

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.

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!
