It looks like a Baci Roadster, built by Basasie Automobile Company. But I think it's a newer model than 1984 ... :think:

Some kind of neo-classic.

Pretty sure it's not an Excalibur or a Zimmer.

Clenet?

I googled Clenet and their radiators are more vertical than this car.

The radiator does not match with Baci - yes they are later than 1984. Google Zimmer and most of the pictures are cars with more vertical radiators like the Clenet but this one is different - http://www.topothelinemotors.com/inventorypics/87tiff.jpg - maybe there are different models. The one in the link matches with our picture - but maybe it is not a Zimmer.

Ah - just worked it out - not a Zimmer but a Tiffany. Haven't found anyhting much about them yet but they were around in the mid 1980s. Looks to be the first one on the site.

Rather not - Link to "desmoines.ebayclassifieds.com"

And it's obvious convertible, not coupe

For me - almost for sure (look at the vents on the hood in third thumbnail) - it's 1983 Bradford: http://bobsclassics.com/sold/84b.htm

I think it's a Bradford - compare the vents on the side of the hood: http://www.bobsclassics.com/sold/84b.htm

Very rare; apparently only 7 were built.

P.S. Tiffanys were Mercury Cougar-based; I'm still hoping one will turn up in a movie.

I know this is a long time from the original post but I've been searching for these cars on the 'Net.

My Dad and brothers built these in Melbourne, FL for Bradford. There were also 2 "Elegante" models built.

Bradford Motorcars Inc. of Dania Beach, Florida. Their only model was the "Limited Edition" - a self-fulfilling prophecy, so to speak... They started production around the model year 1983 and ended rather quickly. The company was dissolved in late 1985.

@TimH (if you're up for a second post, that is): Do you have an idea how many of these your family built?

Update: Bradford Motorcars, Inc. was the successor to Bradford Coachworks - that means, various Stretchlimousines, Cadillac and Lincoln station wagon conversions, funeral car conversions, shortened Eldorado and Seville and other creations were also made by these companies. I hadn't realized this connection before.
