Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Ex-Lindley Bothwell, D. Cameron Peck and Mr. Wallerich before ending up with the consignor, just four owners since the 1940's. Very good older paint, brass and upholstery. Clean and orderly engine compartment. Not fresh but very well done. Chassis shows some use but also exceptional care.
Market commentary
One of the sensations of Bonhams Amelia Island auction, a truly impressive automobile with an impeccable provenance and beautifully restored and maintained to very high standards. The next time someone alludes to the demise of the antique car market point to this American, reference the price it brought, and remind them that it will keep up with freeway traffic and embarass all but the most competent rally cars on the cart tracks it traversed in 1908.
