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 50th 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!

Ditching the Cold, We headed off to Naples, Florida!

We just got back from hosting the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Association “Winter Fling” in Naples! We were able to get together with the friends we’ve made from touring, leaving the snow behind, we headed to Naples, Florida.

This 3-day trip was full of activities that every car lover would enjoy. This get together did not include the cars that would usually be found on the tours, but there sure was a lot of talk about them! The weekend schedule was packed with activities such as an Airboat Ride in the Everglades and a tour of REVS Institute For Automotive Research. Cocktail hour or dinner was held every night, which gave us all time to catch up and talk about what we all love, cars!


We didn’t miss the cold when we were exploring Naples or having cocktails at the Naples Yacht Club. We are very proud of this social weekend we hosted for those in the Silver Ghost Association. The weekend had a great mix of sharing more information about all our beloved interest of automobiles and relaxing fun. We appreciate all of those who came out to our weekend in Naples, Florida!

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!
