SOLD: Rare 1932 Buick Series 90 96S Rumble Seat Coupe

motoringicons · November 9, 2015

1932 Buick Series 90 Model 96S Rumble Seat Coupe. This is an extremely rare car. It is one of only 586 built and one of only two listed in the CCCA roster. The Series 90 Buicks were built on the long, 134" wheelbase chassis and powered by the large, 345 cid, eight cylinder, overhead valve engines. They are considered as Full Classics by the Classic Car Club of America.

This desirable Buick was restored about 25 years ago from an excellent original and well preserved car. The mileage shown is about 71,000 which is believed to be original. When the past owner purchased the car, he embarked on a no-expense spared mechanical freshening in order to drive the car on the 2013 CCCA Lincoln Highway Cross Country Caravan. Unfortunately, health issues prevented him from doing this and he sold the car. Prior to selling the car, the entire chassis was scrutinized and examined. A complete brake job was performed, all the wiring was replaced, six new tires installed, the fuel system completely rebuilt from gas tank to carburetor, ignition rebuilt, etc, etc. Today, the car runs and drives like new. The engine starts easily, runs strong and solid and pulls the car down the road with speed and ease. The transmission shifts amazingly easy, the brakes stop the car firmly and square, the steering is light and responsive, etc. All of the gauges, lights, etc operate as they should.

Cosmetically, the car presents extremely well. The paint looks great and shows only the expected signs of wear from being applied 25 years ago. Much of the interior remains original and is in very good condition. The rumble seat area is extremely clean. The dashboard is excellent including the gauges. The chrome and stainless is also excellent as is the glass, etc. The body is super straight and solid. The doors open and close like bank vault doors with even gaps and margins. The hood fits the body and radiator properly. The fenders are just as clean underneath as they are on the top. This car sits and looks right from all angles.

The Series 90 Buicks are in many aspects better engineered and more enjoyable to drive than many comparable Classics of the period. This car is not only extremely rare, but it is ready to use and enjoy. A rare opportunity. Chassis Number: 2619759, Engine Number: 2770987. We are asking xxxxx but will consider realistic offers. Located in Jefferson, WI.
