Among other makers of these classic car(?) impersonators ...are Gatsby & another called Marauder (..I think there are even more similar one's i've seen in books.!!)..most seem to be american. -- Last edit: 2006-06-15 21:37:51 |

Not a Zimmer. The 80s Sedans were based on an extended Ford Mustang platform and had a different side profile: http://www.bobsclassics.com/83l.htm Even the later ones (which were built on Town Cars) had a different arch/wing profile: Link to "www.autoviva.com" This is just something (80s Town Car?) that's been modified. |

By the mirrors you can tell it's a Cadillac. After a few google searches, I found it's a 1982 Cadillac Seville modified by Grandeur Motors Corporation in Florida. Here's another angle of the car taken from the movie: ![]() The "regular" custom Cadillac Seville for the untasteful gentlemen of the 80s looked like this: ![]() That's only half of the modification, but you can see that the base car is really a 1982 Cadillac Seville sedan. Even the wire hubcaps look original. Now the rest of the mods including both bumpers, lights and the hood could be the result of even further customization, perhaps by Zimmer or similar. |

Despite what oKARR says, I think it's a Lincoln Town Car, not a Cadillac Seville. It's got Town Car doors, door handles, opera window AND door mirrors. I suggest you provide some links because I couldn't find anything. -- Last edit: 2016-06-03 16:23:13 |

Does anyone know who manufactures this type of four-door Lincoln/Excalibur hybrid neoclassic car? I'm trying to find a manufacturer but the Russian sites don't really help much. |

^ No. Various manufacturers from the past are known for these conversions, like the ones mentioned above or New York Custom Coach, Empire Coach, Marquis, Knudsen, Baroque etc. Nowadays these cars are mostly built with conversion kits, manufactured by various companies/ people/ UFOs/ things/ animals/ whatnots who all have one thing in common: They're completely unknown! At least to me and everyone else, it seems. ![]() Here's a kit which is very similar to the one used for the car above, yet not the same. What you need is a used Lincoln Town Car, a garage, some craftsmanship, a bit of time, some good luck and no shame. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Dang... you seem to know a whole lot on those neoclassics though! On my search through the ones on here I've seen your name pop up everywhere. Wouldn't surprise me if you even drove a neoclassic, haha. Yeah most of the ones that I love the most look almost like a Zimmer front slapped on a Lincoln body. The rear is very much different than a Zimmer though. |
