With only 250 units ever produced by Clénet Coachworks of Santa Barbara, California, this handcrafted beauty is as rare as it is breathtaking.

Bearing the number 236 in its limited production run, the 1979 Clénet Series I Roadster combines old-world sophistication with modern muscle. Powered by a robust Ford V8 engine paired with a smooth three-speed automatic transmission, this car delivers both style and substance. Its eye-catching features include a brown soft top, louvered hood, Continental kit, driving lights, trumpet horns, faux external exhaust pipes, 15" wire wheels, and front disc brakes – a nod to the elegance of 1930s roadsters.

"The Clénet Series I is a masterpiece of automotive art, blending luxury, performance, and exclusivity in one unforgettable package," said Ron Sturgeon, owner of the DFW Car & Toy Museum. "We are beyond excited to showcase this rare gem and give visitors the opportunity to witness a piece of automotive history that represents the pinnacle of bespoke craftsmanship."

The Clénet's steel bodywork and fiberglass fenders sit atop a Ford-sourced chassis, with braking handled by front discs and rear drums. The interior is just as impressive, featuring a Nardi steering wheel, an AutoMeter 120-mph speedometer, and VDO instrumentation, including a 7k-rpm tachometer, clock, and auxiliary gauges. With only 1,300 miles on its five-digit odometer, this vehicle remains a pristine example of automotive luxury.

Visitors to the DFW Car & Toy Museum can immerse themselves in a rich collection of classic cars, toys, and memorabilia that celebrate automotive ingenuity and nostalgia. The 1979 Clénet Series I Roadster is a must-see for car enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates timeless elegance.
