Excalibur cars were built in Milwaukee by Brooks Stevens. They were
modeled on the Mercedes Benz SS and SSK, thus the Mercedes reference.
Engine/drive train was Detriot big iron. Think fiberglass kit car, but
enlarged and factory built.

After Mr. Stevens croaked, the Excalibur car company croaked too. Sad!
When I first saw a picture of an Excalibur, I wanted one. That was
before I had seen a prewar Mercedes Benz. Once I saw the real thing, I
lost interest in the Excalibur. They were sold to actors and overpaid
athletes mostly. You were most likely to see one in LA, NYC or MIami,
followed by Dallas and lost wages.

So what is a 1966 Mercedes-Benz Excalibur? I don't recall they had any
models by that name ...
