Equipment
Black wood spoke wheels with gold pinstriping. Dual Neverout oil lamps, bulb horn, road bell, Lester whitewalls. Plenty of touring badges on the kick plate under the seat. Lots of road wear under the fenders. Plenty of paint chips on the chassis and stress cracks in the body. Seat leather worn but still usable. An older correct restoration that has been driven since. Restored by Jack Tallman in 1952 with new body, chassis and suspension. Stated to be tour ready. From the Tallman Collection. No Reserve.
Market commentary
Although the catalog states that the body, chassis and suspension are 1950s era replacements the price paid here reflects the older restoration more than the originality of the components. Its a car that has its own, long history and has earned a certain legitimacy, as well as a chance at a Brighton Run entry. It is fully valued at this price.
