A 1932 Buick Series 90 Convertible Coupe, one of only 289 produced that year and numbered 150 off the line, powered by a 344.8-cubic-inch overhead-valve inline eight. Originally retailing at $1,805, it passed through the noted Marvin Tamaroff and Paul Andrews collections before receiving a show-quality restoration by Ontario craftsman Harry Sherry.
