you should ask yourself if you're shopping for pre-World War II
automobiles. Here, at MotoeXotica Classic Cars, we are proud to
present this mostly original five-passenger 1932 Buick Phaeton 68C
Convertible. Only 366 phaetons were sold in 1932, making this a
rare pre-war Buick that would be a unique addition to your garage.
A Mr. Takamura, a private collector, bought this Buick about 25
years ago from the Grave Motor Company in Kansas, which is no
longer in business. He took the car to Japan to display in his
Kawaguchiko Motor Museum to show to the public. After he passed
away four years ago, the family decided to bring it back to their
residence. A Mr. Nemoto, also a classic car collector, was very
close to the family and decided to purchase the car. After keeping
it for several years, he decided to bring it back to United States.
The car's Coronado Tan over Symphony Brown paint is in overall very
good condition showing patina with crazing and some stress cracks
from age, but still very presentable along with the brightwork in
front - hood ornament, grille, headlight shells, dual horns and fog
light shells - sparkle in the light. The vehicle's glass panels are
clear and intact. The styleish hood ornament sets off the chrome
grill with prior repairs. The car's lights, including its dual
Pilot-Ray foglights, are in excellent order. The car rides on
Bedford bias-ply tires, sized 6.50-18, and they surround
distinctive orange wire wheels. All of the car's body panels are in
very good order and solid, including the running boards and dual
side-mounted spare tires. The contrasting soft top is in overall
good condition. The external, weatherproof mounted trunk is also in
good order and there is a rack available for the owner to add his
or her own trunk for even more storage. The car's engine bay is
very tidy and the bumpers are very good order. The 273 CID straight
eight-cylinder engine has five main bearings, mechanical valve
lifters, and a cast-iron block. Backing that engine is a
three-speed, "Silent Second" Syncro-Mesh manual transmission and
4.27 rear end. Inside, the newer tan leather seats are in very good
condition, as is the matching carpeting. The instrument panel
offers a full array of gauges, plus a clock for the front passenger
and is in good order but there are some blemishes on driver's side.
The original three-spoke steering wheel is present, the inner door
panels, complete with map pockets, look very classy and the mirrors
and shifter are in good condition. This is a radio delete model.
For 1932, Buick added two additional body styles to the Series 60,
offering a total of seven models from which to select. A new
addition was the Convertible Phaeton, which offered seating for
five, leather interior, dual rear ashtrays, dual side mounted spare
tires and a choice of either wood or wire-spoke wheels, the final
year the former style would be offered. This car is currently
located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on
the odometer shows 927 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a
clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN:
