Starting as a garage manufacturer, Clenet is one of those American names that few know about, but more ought to. This automaker produced neo-classical automobiles for the wealthy during the 1970s and 1980s. They modeled their designs after 1930s cars, but equipped them with modern (at the time) technology and drivetrains. Their first product was the Series 1, replaced by the Series 2 in 1979. Some research tells us that only 250 Series 1 examples were made, making this 1979 Clenet Series 1 Roadster a very rare car indeed. It’s currently up for sale in Aurora, Colorado, with less than 3,200 miles on the clock. So, if you want to own something American, classic, and rare, this car is a great choice to make, and its rarity means that it will keep on appreciating in value as long as you take care of it.
Wearing a Champagne and Bronzo two-tone color theme, this 1979 Clenet Series 1 Roadster definitely looks like it’s from the 1930s in most ways. The car’s long stance, podded headlamps, external running boards, and wire wheels are definitely period. It’s also got chrome bumpers and a chrome grille. But there are a few hints as to this car’s more modern persona, such as its wider tires and more modern-looking passenger cell, protected by a convertible top. Under the skin, the fiberglass body is held up by a steel frame, granting you decent structural rigidity and strength. The interior of this 1979 Clenet Series 1 Roadster features Connolly leather and wood trim on the dashboard. It’s a nice place to be, with a comprehensive suite of gauges and a Pioneer radio with cassette tape player. There’s even a Clarion graphic equalizer mounted lower down in the dashboard, which will please fans of vintage audio gear. The wood-rimmed steering wheel grants a sense of classic beauty, but the rest of the cabin is much more modern, which is a great thing – passenger cabins from the 1930s weren’t exactly comfortable or welcoming.
Powering this 1979 Clenet Series I Roadster is a reliable 351 cubic-inch Ford Windsor V8, a period-correct engine choice that blends American muscle with neoclassic elegance. The V8 is paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels, delivering the effortless cruising experience Clenet was known for. Fuel delivery comes via a traditional carbureted system, maintaining its vintage character, while an upgraded radiator has been fitted to improve cooling and reliability.

Dabbling in classic cars is lovely, but what if you want something different? Why not look to America’s host of smaller manufacturers and coachbuilders for inspiration? Clenet Coachworks is a great place to start, as this company made 1930s-inspired cars in the 1970s and 1980s. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, there’s not a lot of information about them on the Interwebs. In fact, the company does exist to a degree, as its current owner, Sir Alfred J. DiMora, operates a company called DiMora Motorcar. Why not pay homage to this quirky automaker and buy this 1974 Clenet Series 1 Roadster Replica? With a reportedly original 422 miles on the clock, this car comes with up-to-date servicing and a great V8 under all that vintage-look bodywork.
