Tired, and and not very well used older restoration that wasnt very good to begin with. John M. OQuinn estate.
Market commentary
This car has real potential not only as a showpiece of a long forgotten marque but also on the road where its low chassis, drivetrain and body should give it excellent handling. Some attention to its long neglected cosmetics and mechanics should bring it back to respectable, drivable condition. It was sold by Bonhams at Quail Lodge in 2004 for $51,750 and is a sound value today at little more than that.
