Clénet Coachworks

Each limited-production model was conceived, designed, and produced by a small team in Santa Barbara County, California, in the 1970s and 1980s.

Buyers included Farrah Fawcett, Rod Stewart, Ken Norton, Sylvester Stallone and King Hussein of Jordan.

[citation needed] Clénets were called "Driven Art" by Automotive Age and the "American Rolls-Royce" by Fortune.

[citation needed] Clénets were still built as of 2023 in Palm Springs, where Sir Alfred J. DiMora resides.

Alain Clénet himself can be seen in one of his namesake cars, as a parent of one of the pupils at the upscale Calvin Finishing School for Girls, in the 1980 slasher film To All a Goodnight.

Spoiled young heiress Fallon Carrington drove a Clénet during the first two seasons of soap opera Dynasty in 1981–1982.
