This elegant 1938 Buick Roadmaster Series 80C Sport Phaeton surfaced in the dry climates of Colorado about three decades ago and is said to have been a low-mileage car in quite original condition at the time. The Buick was treated to a restoration at that time and would soon after form part of a St. Louis, Missouri-based collection. Well-known collector Robert Pass would later acquire the Roadmaster Sport Phaeton, before passing it onto the Sterling McCall Historic Cadillac Museum located near San Antonio, Texas.
The current owner - a Phoenix, Arizona based collector of fine American classic automobiles - would purchase the car in 2007, and soon after set out to improve the restoration and condition of the car. Today, the rare Buick Roadmaster 80C Sport Phaeton presents beautifully throughout, with a nice patina to the restoration, which is said to have just over 6,000 miles recorded since it was done. 350 of these rare Buick Roadmaster 80C Sport Phaeton models were built in 1938, and today just 12 have been restored and are listed as being in existence in the national registry devoted to the model.
This is a beautiful and very usable Buick, recognized as a Full CCCA Classic, and it is eligible for any AACA event.
