Who Drove the Excalibur?


I can't verify it, but I believe the people who drove the Excalibur to Florida from Canada resembled this couple. (Ok, maybe not, since they're decades apart in time.)
For more info on the Excalibur, refer to my post from 1/29/09, Photos from a recent trip to Florida.
The Excalibur began as an old-fashioned touring car with the Studebaker company in 1963. After Studebaker went out of business, Brooks Stevens brought it back to life name of SS Automobiles Inc, where the Excalibur was manufactured for another 24 years.
Confidential to John McLane - this is the image that came to my mind. Close to yours or far apart?

Very close! But they've downsized from the villa to the caravan, their clothes are a little threadbare, shoes re-soled, while they try to put off the moment when he looks up from the accounts and the worthless bank shares and says, darling, I think we going to have to let the Excalibur go...
