Notes: Excalibur Automobile Corp., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Pictured above is the Excalibur Series IV chassis. The frame is designed and engineered by David B. Stevens, president, Excalibur Automobile Corporation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Excalibur Automobile Corporation, now in its 18th year, is the nation’s oldest and largest manufacturer of limited production automobiles. It is differentiated from the California car customizers by the fact that Excalibur builds its automobile from the frame up, rather than customizing a Detroit product. The frame, constructed of ¼” wall structural steel tubing, weighs four times that of most Detroit products, offering 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.
