Hollywood car is star of auction
Published October 14th, 2005
A rare 1934 American Buick that has appeared alongside a who’s who of film and music stars is going under the hammer in west Wales at the weekend.
Actors John Wayne, Peter Ustinov and Sir Ian Mckellen plus singer Kate Bush are just some of those who have shared the screen with the vintage motor.
Currently owned by a collector from Kidwelly it will be sold at a classic car auction on Saturday.
Auctioneers said they were hoping for bids from across the UK and overseas.
The 1934 Buick model 90L four-door limousine is believed to be one of just seven still in existence.
Nigel Hodson of Peter Francis Auctioneers said because of its distinctive ‘gangster look’ it had been in demand by many Hollywood productions.
A final reserve price has not been settled on but a price of more than £10,000 is expected.
