Own a part of history This 1929 roadster was built in 1982 by John Thawley, and used as a concept promotional vehicle, promoting Buick's aftermarket performance parts. John is the author of many street rod books, one being "How to build a Repro Rod", showing Junior Johnson on the cover with John. The car is also on the inside cover of Jim Ruggles, "Buick Performance Guide", and on page 67 of Buick Perfomamce Years. This roadster is in excellent condition with only 14,227 miles, and is part of Buick's legendary performance history. The car is from the estate of a top executive for General Motor Corp.
