Excalibur: 1920s styling with American engineering
An Excalibur looks like a car from the 1920s, but it isn't. The brand was founded in the United States in the mid-1960s and built new cars in the style of the great Mercedes sports cars of the late 1920s. Think of an extremely long bonnet, freestanding wings, chrome exhaust pipes running along the side and spare wheels on show. Beneath that classic shape sits American engineering, which makes the car easier to drive than a genuine pre-war model.
The open Phaeton has two rows of seats and a soft top; the roadster is a two-seater. As a wedding car, an Excalibur suits a Great Gatsby-themed wedding, a castle or an estate with a long drive. Do allow for a high step in and little shelter when the roof is down.
Precisely because an Excalibur stands out so much, it is also a rewarding subject for the photographer. The long bonnet, the chrome exhausts and the freestanding headlamps look best from the side or at a slight angle from the front. So plan a moment when the car is parked in an open spot, such as a drive or a courtyard, and let the photographer walk around it at their leisure.
Classic cars with the same presence on the site
At the moment there is no Excalibur online. If you are looking for something grand and nostalgic, take a look at:
- the classic cars as wedding cars, with cars from the 1950s and later;
- Rolls-Royce wedding cars, for a similarly stately appearance;
- Mercedes-Benz wedding cars, the brand from which the Excalibur's styling is derived.
The selection changes, so an Excalibur may still appear later.
Frequently asked questions
Is an Excalibur a genuine car from the 1920s?
No. An Excalibur is a neoclassic: a car built from the 1960s onwards in the style of the late 1920s. That has its advantages. You get the look of a pre-war car, but with technology that is more reliable and easier to maintain. On a wedding day with a tight schedule, that is reassuring.
Is it difficult to get into a neo-classic car in a wedding dress?
The step in is often higher than in a modern car and the doors are narrow. With a full dress, it is easiest if someone helps with the train and the bride sits down first and then swings her legs inside. Ask the rental company to show you how it works beforehand, so it goes more smoothly on the day itself.
What is the difference between a phaeton and a roadster?
A phaeton is an open car with two rows of seats, so there is room for more than two people. A roadster is an open two-seater, often sportier and smaller. For a couple who want to travel on their own, a roadster is enough. If you would like space for a witness or a photographer in the back, a phaeton is the more practical choice.
Which wedding venue suits a 1920s-style car?
Venues with a history of their own work best: a castle, a country estate, an old hotel or a listed villa. A party in an art deco style with matching outfits also goes well with it. Plan the route along quiet roads, so the car can travel at a relaxed pace and you have time for a photo stop along the way.
