1940 American Bantam Riviera Navigation
This 1940 Austin American Bantam Hollywood Convertible Coupe is powered by the 50.1 cubic-inch, 22 horsepower 4-cylinder engine and has a 3-speed manual transmission. It wears an older restoration with very few miles added since that time. The car is finished in the typical bantam turquoise color with a brown interior.
The Bantam Convertible Coupe was put into production in 1940. It was branded 'Hollywood' after its design by California based Alex Tremulis. For 1940, just 800 examples of the Bantam were created.
In 2012, this car was offered for sale at the Glenmoor Gathering Auction presented by Classic Motorcar Auctions. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $28,620 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2012
