full classic Older frame-off restoration The Buick Series 90
produced between 1931 and 1935 is recognized by the CCCA as a full
classic, the only complete model (as opposed to individual custom
bodies) to enjoy that status. 1932 was also the second year to see
the production of Buick's new Straight-Eight engine, a 344.8 (345)
CI inline-8 producing 113 horsepower. The Depression was in full
bloom and Buick sold just 268 of its Series 90 Model 98 Convertible
Phaeton's, discontinuing the model at the end of that year. This
1932 example is just one of six known to exist today. Exquisitely
finished and detailed, painted wire wheels and wide whitewall
tires. The full complement of exterior accessories includes dual
side-mount spare tires, luggage rack and a Man of Mercury hood
ornament mascot. An older frame-off restoration, this incredibly
rare Buick is a genuine American classic. Formerly owned and
restored by 1932 Buick expert McClellan Blair 1 year car. Only 268
