Market commentary

This is a very sweet old automobile with the low set headlights that for some reason make me think of Mr. Toad in Wind in the Willows going Poop, Poop. This is the oldest car in Otis Chandlers collection and stark contrast with the 2004 Porsche Carrera GT which balanced it a century later. A rare and distinctive Brighton eligible ride and one of the finest automobiles built in America, this is a full retail price.
