$82,500 USD | Sold

This is a custom built by an iconic car builder, Mike Fennel. This beautiful '49 Buick was a car that Mike built strictly for his personal use, and the attention to detail and the understated elegance of the many build aspects of the car are truly remarkable. Extraordinary ride quality and handling are the key components to the driving experience, and the amount of custom content makes the car a joy to drive but also a thing of beauty to show. Drivability, reliability and all the creature comforts from the modernization with additions of air conditioning, power steering, brakes and windows, along with a modern sound system.

It has air ride bags on all four corners, Chevy 12' rear end, Fat Man front end, and a large displacement Nailhead V8 engine with automatic transmission, and every element of the mechanical build was done the Mike Fennel way. A copy of the title showing Mike and his wife as the owners is provided with the vehicle, along with an extensive photo collection of the restoration work.
