1932 Buick Series 50 Sport Phaeton

  • Coachwork by Holden
  • Chassis Number: 2627717
Buick built 69 examples of the 1932 Model 55 (Series 50) five-passenger four-door Sport Phaeton plus an additional 37 for export. General Motors (Australia) acquired Holden's Motor Body Builders in 1931, adding it to the existing operations to form General Motors-Holden, Ltd. To comply with government regulations, GM produced the chassis and delivered them to the subsidiary company which was then fitted with Holden-built bodies. This particular example was given right-hand-drive configuration and is one of just two Series 50 Model 55s with Holden coachwork known to exist. (The other example is believed to reside in Australia).

This Buick resided in Quebec, Canada for four decades before being acquired by the Blackhawk Collection in 2006. At some point, before it entered the care of the Blackhawk, the car was converted from right-hand to left-hand drive. A cosmetic and mechanical restoration was completed in 2007. It received a new interior, boot cover, and side curtains.

In 2010, the car was acquired by its current caretaker and has resided in a climate-controlled facility ever since.
