The SS Automobiles Excalibur, which is often referred to as simply the Excalibur, was a series of Neoclassic cars that entered production in 1965. The Excalibur is widely considered to be the first Neoclassical car, which features styling drawing heavily from the 1920's and 1930's, while providing modern mechanicals including engines and chassis. Over the course of production, only Chevrolet V8 engines were fitted to the Excalibur, of differing displacements and power. Six generations of the Excalibur were built: Series I (1965-1969), Series II (1970-1974), Series III (1975-1979), Series IV (1980-1984), Series V (1985-1990), and Series VI (1994-1996).
