1978 Clenet Series I Convertible
This 1978 Clenet Series I Convertible is one of the rarest and most captivating neo-classic luxury cars ever created, and this stunning blue-on-blue example is No. 51 of just 250 ever produced. Built by hand in a California factory—not a kit car—the Clenet was a genuine coachbuilt statement of style, luxury, and exclusivity. These cars drew a following among some of the era’s biggest names, including Sylvester Stallone, Rod Stewart, and Farrah Fawcett, and it’s easy to see why.
