​1932 Buick Series 50 Sport Phaeton

• The Buick Series 50 was introduced in 1930, it was positioned toward the top of their four Series line up, and it could be ordered in 5 different body styles.  
  

• The most expensive and rarest factory body style of them all would be this Sport Phaeton, it was offered at $1,155 in 1932. 
  

• It is a rare and elegant open-top automobile that embodies Buick’s transition into the luxury market during the early 1930’s by offering an equal blend of performance, comfort, and styling. 
  

• Just 69 examples would be built for 1932, and they are even more scarce today as this is one of just five known surviving examples.  
  

• Sitting on the shorter, 114-inch wheelbase, the Dual Windshields adorn the Fisher Body which is finished in a gold and green livery with Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels painted in a light green to match the hand pinstriping throughout the body. It is an older restoration with charming signs of patina. 
  

• The chrome work is plentiful on the exterior, which is further complemented by features such as Trippe Safety Lights, wind wings, dual sideview mirrors, and double stacked, rear mounted spare wheels with color-matched hard shells.  
  

• During the restoration the interior was upgraded from the original cloth upholstery to green leather which complements the exterior.  
  

• The wood dash is inlaid with a full set of AC gauges which display the speedometer, fuel level, amps, oil, and water.  
  

• Additional optional interior features include a heater and clock. 
  

• This Sport Phaeton is equipped with the iconic Buick 230-cubic-inch, overhead-valve, straight eight-cylinder engine, producing 82.5 horsepower. 
  

• It has a three-speed manual gearbox with Wizard Control, a new-for-1932 system, which offered freewheeling and no-clutch shifting between second and third gears. 
  

• The Series 50 also came with fully independent suspension. 
  

• The Buick Series 50 was produced until 1935 and would go on to become the Buick Super.
