Magnificent Classic Cars starting with the E-Type Jaguar
Magnificent Classic Cars that I guarantee will put a smile on your face. I count myself extremely lucky to have actually owned a 1971 4.2 E-Type, this fabulous vehicle was once called “the most beautiful car ever made” by Enzo Ferrari.
The photo in the header features the fabulous 1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.
1968 Chevrolet Corvette
Certainly the most collected vehicle in America.
1959 Buick Electra 225
The 1959 Buicks were introduced to the public on September 16, 1958, and the years production was 285,089 units.
1957 Jag XK140
The rarest of all XK versions : the XK140 DHC. In total only 2789 units were made, and that makes it today the most sought after XK for collectors.
Magnificent Classic Cars, Mercedes SL 300 Gullwing
The company introduced the 300 SL in February 1954 at the International Motor Sports Show in New York City instead of in Europe to get it into U.S. buyers’ hands sooner.
1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster Replica
The Auburn Speedster Replicas would achieve fame as the hero car in various movies including the 1990 movie Dick Tracy starring Warren Beatty and Madonna, and the 1980s TV hit Remington Steel featuring future James Bond star Pierce Brosnan.
1939 Bugatti Type 57C Cabriolet by Vanvooren
During the Great Depression sales of luxury automobiles dwindled as you can imagine. Consequently Ettore Bugatti and his brilliant son Jean understood that a special model was imperative to help their company survive. The resulting new Type 57’s styling was at once contemporary and affordable, with custom coachwork available for the very wealthy.
1959 Cadillac Series Sixty-Two Convertible
The 1959 Cadillacs wore the tallest tail fins in the industry. They make this model year the most memorable and identifiable Cadillac in history.
1958 Chevy Impala convertible
The Impala was Chevrolet’s popular flagship passenger car and was among the better selling American-made automobiles in the United States.
1960 STAINLESS STEEL Ford Thunderbird (one of just 2)
They are among some of the rarest Ford’s you will ever find and now they have been put up for auction.
1967 Camaro
The 1967 model had the same body lines as the 1968 model.
1952 Chevy Styeline Deluxe Convertible
The Chevrolet Special and Deluxe were introduced for the 1949 model year. Built on the GM ‘A’ body, the Chevrolet Special and Deluxe were a series of full size cars, available as sedans, coupes, convertibles, and station wagons.
1971 Mercedes 350 SL
This beautiful scores a place in this blog because I was the proud owner of this yellow one for 17 years back in the 90s. In the 70s I also owned a white one for several years. When it was new back in 1971, this Mercedes-Benz 350SL cost twice as much as a Jaguar E-Type.
1960 Ford Thunderbird
Magnificent Classic Cars 1956 Monarch Richelieu Convertible
Monarch Richelieu Phaeton. In 1956 the Monarch Richelieu Phaeton was the top of line Monarch.
1953 Cadillac Eldorado
The Eldorado model was part of the Cadillac line from 1953 to 2002. The Cadillac Eldorado was the longest running American personal luxury car as it was the only one sold after the 1998 model year.
1930 Mercedes SSK Roadster
One of the most revered sports cars in the world is the SSK and this one features the most dramatic body of them all. It’s nicknamed after Carlo Trossi who was its first owner and had close connections to the industry. In fact, he had the foresight to be an initial investor of Scuderia Ferrari and later became the team’s President.
1938 Bantam Roadster
The American Austin Car Company was founded in 1929 in Butler, Pennsylvania, with the goal of creating a market for small-car enthusiasts in the United States. The company, later renamed American Bantam, produced vehicles licensed from the British Austin Motor Company. They had a blistering top speed of 50 MPH. 🙂
1934 Hispano-Suiza J12 Convertible
As competition to the best that Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Isotta-Fraschini could offer, the J12 in many respects was the superior design.
The centerpiece of every J12 was its locomotive-like 60˚ V12 which could produce 250 bhp no a good day. The 10-liter engine used a 70 lbs crankshaft held in seven main bearings. Spark was provided by 2 Scintilla magnetos and many ancillary pieces were cast from aluminum with very low tolerances.
Much of the chassis was over-engineered to achieve a near-silent operation noise ease of use. It had fully adjustable servo-assisted brakes and the transmission was geared for the extreme torque made by the engine.
The J12 was one of the most expensive pre-war chassis, costing $10,150.
1954 Packard Caribbean Convertible
This Packard is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 13.1 sec, from 0 to 100 km/h in 14.1 sec, from 0 to 160 km/h (100 mph) in 57 sec and the quarter mile drag time is 19.2 sec.
1957 Borgward Isabella Coupé
The Borgward Isabella is a medium sized two door saloon that was manufactured by the Bremen based auto-manufacturer Carl F. W. Borgward GmbH between 1954 and 1962.
1958 Cadillac Fleetwood Series Sixty-Special
The eminent Fleetwood Series Sixty-Special was the “Standard of the World” in magnificence and dignity. It was the most distinguished name in motorcars. Every Fleetwood model was truly a masterpiece.
1938 Delahaye 165 Cabriolet
Basically built on a production-version of the V12 145 race car chassis, it received accolades for both radical performance and world class elegance. Furthermore, it is one of only a handful of cars to receive Delahaye’s rare V12 engine.
Of all the cabriolet bodies that Figoni et Falaschi made, this sweeping design is their most harmonious. Dashes help split up the profile and conceal the engine bay vents as well as the door handles. Chrome brightwork runs along the sills and neatly wraps around the rear end brake lights.
1964 Aston Martin DB5
The Aston Martin DB5 is a British luxury grand tourer (GT) that was made by Aston Martin. Although not the first in the DB series, the DB5 is the best-known cinematic James Bond car, first appearing in the James Bond film Goldfinger (1964).
