Vintage Cars


1986 Mercedes Benz 560SL. Owner: Gregory Scheidler

Originally titled in Honolulu Hawaii then transferred to California before I purchased it in 2022. Currently stored in Connecticut and maintained by Meccanic Shop North Inc. in North Salem NY when not spending its summers in Boothbay Harbor. Loved for its rare black on black color combination.

 

1927, Dodge Brothers, Four door sedan. Owner: Russ Christoff

Miss Daisy ( the name we have given the car) is an example of a relatively rare model produced by Dodge. Currently residing in the Antique Automobile Museum at the Boothbay Harbor Railway Museum, this multi award winning Dodge Brothers sedan is in immaculate shape and is in perfect running condition She will also appear in the Windjammer Days Parade.

 

1969 Austin-Healey Sprite MkIV. Owner: Andy Cozzi

Part of the Family Since 1976 Originally purchased in Louisiana, this 1969 Austin-Healey Sprite MkIV became part of the family in 1976 and has been along for the ride ever since—quite literally. In 1981, it made the long journey north with two loyal Golden Retrievers riding shotgun, making for an unforgettable chapter in its story. This MkIV is from the final generation of the Austin-Healey Sprite line, with only, 5,338 Austin-Healey Sprite MkIVs produced in 1969. Though it began life with a 1275cc A-Series engine producing about 65 hp, this example has been bored out and upgraded with a 2-barrel Holley carburetor and performance headers. The result is a lively 95 horsepower, giving this 1,500-pound roadster a punchy and responsive character. The fully synchronized 4-speed gearbox pairs with a suspension setup true to the era: independent front with coil springs and wishbones, and a live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs. It’s a light, tight, analog driving experience—one that’s harder and harder to find today. More than a car, this Sprite is a well-loved companion, a memory-maker, and a living piece of family history. And after nearly 50 years, it’s still going strong—with plenty of stories left to tell.

1931 Ford Cabriolet 68-B. Owner: Nat Wilson

The Cabriolet model is a convenable with roll up windows. This car is considered a rare model as production was limited during those years. It was the second most expensive Model A. offered in 1931, Doctor Carpenter of Woodstock, VT. owned this car. They sold it to the Wells Automobile Museum where is stayed for many years. I purchased it from a grandson of the museum owner in 2004. Overall it is a original car and well maintained over her many years.

 

1975, Triumph TR6. Owner: Donald Earle

Celebrating her 50th birthday this year, she spent her first 22 years in St. Louis, then 25 years on Long Island before coming to live in Boothbay. Only 35,000 original miles and rarely driven in the winter she is more than ready to enjoy drives around the peninsula. Have learned a lot in the past three years about the care and quirkiness of Little British Cars (e.g. they love to drip various fluids on your garage floor) but nothing beats the fun of putting the top down and heading out to enjoy the beauty of our scenic coastline!

 

1986 Mercedes Benz, Unimog. Owner: Stephen Moore

German Military Surplus. Atkinson Vos frame-on restoration: New Paint, Fast Axles, Turbo, Oversize Wheels and Tires.

 

1964 MG MGB. Owner: Richard Taylor

The MGB was first introduced in 1962 as the successor to the MGA. Produced by MG Cars from 1962 to 1980 it has become one of the most iconic British roadsters ever produced and became an instant success due to its modern design, performance, and affordability. Powered by a 1.8 liter inline 4 engine, the MGB produced around 95 hp coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission. This early series (MK1) is highly desirable due to its pull handles and hard metal dash found only with the early models. Manufactured in 1964 in Abingdon, England, this MGB found its first home in Maine. And now, after sixty years and three previous owners in Florida and Tennessee, it has returned back to Maine for the last two years.

I have owned the car since 1968 when I purchased it from the original owner. That's 57 years! The car is totally original including the 327 cubic inch engine producing 300 horsepower. The paint color is unique - Honduras Maroon - used only for 2 years.

1955 Porsche Speedster; Owner Ray Egan

1929 Ford A; owner Frank Fassett

Previously owned and restored by the late Robert Jones of Boothbay Harbor. Given to me because as Bob put it "It's a driver and there's enough of them on display, I want someone to have it who's going to drive it." I got a phone call one afternoon that said "G+G is headed your way with the A and you owe me $1!" That was "Bob". Cody Mitchell with a big nod to Jimmy Sewall have provided endless TLC and she runs like a top, I'd head to Dearborn with her tomorrow.

1975 Volkswagon Super Beetle; owner Brendalee Combrink

Originally bought in 1975 by two local sisters in Bath, ME, beautifully restored candy apple red convertible Super Beetle. In times you may see a “Pug” in the bug cruisin’ the harbor during the summer months.


1932 Ford model BB; Owner Eben Wilson

This truck is an original unrestored driver. 1932 was an important year for Ford as it was the start of single model year vehicles an the introduction of the V8 motor to their line up. (My truck has a 4 cylinder engine) This particular vehicle was originally a fire truck from the upper Midwest that had slowly made her way east to Litchfield, Maine where I bought her 23 years ago.
