Very rare car. Paint was stripped and painted 3 colors of green to match the original dark green leather upholstery. Original wood wheels and wood steering wheel.

dibarlaw Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Jake: Looks to be nicely done otherwise. I am not sure of the details with the Marquette. Whoever did the restoration has much more then $37K into it. I know we had a Mason-Dixon chapter member in the Harrisburg area with one before I became director. I do not know where it is now. There is a Marquette Phaeton in Greencastle PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Larry, My fuzzy memory tells me that color green was a "standard" Marquette factory color and I have seen several in that range of Green. I know it's a roadster, and a rare Buick related product but these Marquette's had a flat 6 motor which was uninspiring, and parts are rare to maintain them. As a novel curiosity I might buy one but I would rather get the 2 H45's for this price than this one car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm no Marquette expert, but the body color looks like a metallic green, and incorrect. (To me, it's not a good looking or desirable color combination.) Can others tell more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 John it does look to have a metallic sheen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This one from a 2018 Sotheby's Auction probably set the value of Marquette roadsters - this is a beautiful restoration in a desirable roadster colour. https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/af18/auburn-fall/lots/r0726-1930-buick-marquette-roadster/713075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
