Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD Canadian Buick owned by HRH The King and in which Edward rode to 10 Downing Street to abdicate so he could marry Wallis Simpson. Complete with all the King stuff and documentation. Mostly original and little used. No Reserve.

Market commentary

The price seems modest given this cars important part in an historical moment. It seems Edward favored more than just a lady from North America, but North American cars, too.
