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!
