Series IV Roadster Debuts
In New York

he Excalibur Series IV Roadster is now in production and was debuted at the Greater New York Automobile Show on January 31. Its introduction coincided with the beginning of our 18th year of manufacturing a statistic, we at Excalibur are proud of.
    The Excalibur display at the Show brought thousands of people, many of whom stared in amazement at its beauty.
    The design of the Excalibur Series IV Roadster carries on the tradition of combining the nostalgic styling of the Mercedes-Benz classics with the technological expertise of modern engineering. The Roadster is stylistically reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz 540K, which recently sold at auction for close to $500,000.
    The Roadster comes with both a soft and hard top, over-sized European headlights and creature comforts not offered in previous Excaliburs.
    It is equipped with a fresh air heating and air conditioning system, cruise control, stereo AM/FM radio and tape deck, a center driving light and twin side mounted spotlights. But it's the rumble seat that will take you back to the days of motoring when the automobile was not merely a conveyance, but a personal expression of accomplishment.
    The Roadster is a limited edition automobile with only 36 to be manufactured in 1981. The price tag is $50,000 and all of the 1981 production is sold.
    The Excalibur display is an impressive one that features a Phaeton, a Roadster and a chassis. The chassis was included in the display in 1980 to demonstrate the difference between the Excalibur and other exotic cars.
    The frame is designed and engineered by David B. Stevens, president of Excalibur. It is constructed of 1/4 inch structural steel tubing, weighs four times that of most Detroit frames and offers stability, safety and strength not available in lighter framed automobiles.
    The assembly of the frame is unique in today's automobile manufacturing, in that it is bolted together by hand rather than    the    conventional     method     of

welding. This allows for ease in replacement of damaged frame members.
    It is always interesting to observe people as they come up to the display. Sometimes you can overhear them talking  of  "kit cars,"  but  as  soon  as  they

see the chassis, they start talking "manufacturing."
