Vehicle Description
1988 Tiffany Classic Coupe
Classic Motor Carriages produced the Tiffany Classic through the
80's and wrapped up their production of this model in 1988. These
cars were among the most technically advanced vehicles available in
the market back then and came equipped with an amazing list of
standard features including power sunroofs, carriage opera roofs,
fog lamps, and automatic dimming rearview mirrors. The designers
who were tasked with designing this vehicle spent extra time on
ensuring that the vehicle had amazing curb appeal with a
comfortable interior as well. Although some of these were sold as
kits to complete yourself, this was also a true manufactured
vehicle in most instances giving it that extra guarantee of quality
and consistency one would expect from such a luxurious looking
vehicle. The Zimmer is considered an "era" car. Era cars were built
from readily available parts (VW or Sprite convertible body,
Corvette suspension, Buick/Lincoln/Chevrolet engines, etc.) and
made to replicate the long hood, exposed headlight, side-mount
spare tire look of the classics of the 1930's. All the parts used
were either new or completely rebuilt to be better than new. There
were several brands made (Excalibur, Cl�net, Tiffany) and they were
all made to the same formula.
Classic Auto Mall is pleased to present this wonderful
factory-built example of the 1988 Tiffany Classic Coupe for your
consideration. From the top to the bottom, inside and out, this
model has more personality and luxurious looks than any car being
built today! The exterior is in excellent shape with its beautiful
Snow-White paint, the chrome spoke wheels, opera roof with opera
lights and even comes with a tint to the windows and pinstripes to
emphasize its curves. The interior is just as sharp with its plush
tan leather power seating, and interior upgrades.
Exterior
Snow White paint adorns every corner of metal on this super long
(19') vehicle. Stainless accents show some have been cleaned,
however seem a bit scratched, and not super shiny. This goes for
the grille, headlight and tail light bezels, and bumpers. Light and
dark gold pin striping follow the graceful edges of the curving
fenders and mini running boards. A larger, lighter gold pinstripe
can be seen running at the belt line, again accenting the lines,
and curves of this 30's era design. Stainless steel supercharger
pipes pierce through the hood of the car and quickly dive under the
front fenders. A chorus of trumpet horns adorn the front grille
area, however the compressor to blow them seems weak, and full bore
horn cannot be achieved without the compressor being worked on or
replaced. Dual fog lights are attached but are currently
inoperable. The trunk area is secured with leather straps, and wide
whitewall tires wrap spoked wheels. Two metal spare tire covers
adorned with 30's style wide angle mirrors, flank the hood area and
tuck into the front fender descend.
Interior
Put in your digital entry code and swing open the leather paneled
doors and you are met with leather seating that wraps the 2 front
buckets, a center armrest, and a rear bench, setting up an interior
that can accommodate 5 people. Fronting the buckets is a wood
grained dash, including the radio, and gauges are all digital
display. Thick carpet, in good condition floods the floor. Within
the center console are a myriad of power options including mirrors,
windows, and seating controls. Air-conditioning and a power antenna
should not go without a mention, although air is not super
cold.
Drivetrain
A multi-port fuel injection 5.0 Liter V8 sits comfortably under the
mile-long hood. Attached to the back is an automatic
transmission.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust is showing through the undercoating in various
areas but is not serious or affecting the structural integrity of
this car. New shocks and struts have been attached, as well as a
new oil pan. Otherwise undercarriage and frame are very clean.
Mechanically this is a sound vehicle with its multi-port fuel
injected 5.0L V8 mated to its rebuilt 4-speed automatic
transmission, with only marginal fixes for convenience or cosmetic
purposes, this is a great overall ride all things considered!
