July 12, 20159 yr comment_473726 The Neo-Classic car fad was fun to watch while it lasted. Builders tried to outdo one another with chrome fake side exhaust pipes, floating headlights, various chrome grille shells, and other signs of faux opulence. My favorite, however, wasn't built as a Liberace-mobile. It was the Excalibur, designed by Brooks Stevens. OK, he also designed the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, but the Excalibur was a real car built as a prototype for Studebaker. The original was a cool two seater powered by a Paxton supercharged Avanti engine. When Studebaker didn't pick it up, production went private and several thousand were built over the years. Unfortunately, over the years, it did change from a cool powerful roadster into more of a Liberace-mobile a bit like the Spartan.Dennis Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/51831-nissan-spartan-new-york-craigslist/?&page=2#findComment-473726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 13, 20159 yr comment_473796 Neo Classic? How about chandeliers and a disco ball? Â Â Â Haha, escape from New York, the year is 1997 . I love that film though, not so much Escape from LA.

July 13, 20159 yr Author comment_473822 Haha!! Yeah, that film is one of my all time favorites as well, and I agree with you about Escape from LA. I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually made a version of that car after seeing the movie. A little scared, but not surprised.
