1934 Ford Convertible Phaeton
Model 98C

This rare Buick Convertible Phaeton Model 98C is one of the six known to be still in existence. The car you can admire here was found in Illinois and joined the Nicola Bulgari Car Collection in 2001, immediately proving to be refined and precise in handling, the result of a previous restoration. Nonetheless the car was given a total professional makeover, completed in October 2015. The restoration covered each and every detail.

Having a built-in trunk, it sports elongated chrome lights and a steel luggage rack in the same shade of blue, typical of classy automobiles from the thirties.
The Glacier Blue color of the paintwork (original paint reference #352), together with the top in Light Gray canvas, makes this a particularly interesting example for the world of auto collectors. So interesting, in fact, that the English company Brooklin, famous for specializing in collector’s scale models, brought out a limited series of this car in 1:43 scale, based on the model belonging to the Nicola Bulgari Car Collection, reproduced in exact detail and colors.
