Gatsby |
|
The Gatsbys Cabriolet has been in production since 1979. It is a trademarked neo-classic originally created and produced by Sky Clausen in San Jose, California. The name of his company was Gatsby Coachworks. |
 |
Sky started to retire in the early 90's. While his company was in full production, he built over 500 cars, most of them "turn-key". He did sell quite a few as kits. |
 |
| A company named JPR Cars, Ltd. from Topping Virginia purchased Gatsby Coachworks in December 1997. They are putting the Cabriolet back on the market as well as the other neo-classic, the Gatsby Griffin. |

| Sceptre Motor Car Company of Santa Barbara,
California, introducted the Sceptre at the Los Angeles Expo in May of 1978 and received
the top designer award. The Sceptre was the joint design venture of Thomas W. McBurnie and
Ray Kenney. After only 15 cars, however, the company was forced to dissolve and the molds to the Sceptre were sold to Sky Clausen of Gatsby Coachworks in San Jose, California. Sky changed the name to Griffin, of which he made approximately 50 to 60. |
