Equipment
RHD. Stewart speedometer, Phinney Walker rim wind clock, E&J kerosene taillight and sidelights, Regal branded acetylene headlight, monocle windshield, folded bulb horn, acetylene generator, Juhasz barrel throttle carburetor.
Condition
Dull old paint and brass. Worn but sound old upholstery, worn old top. The engine and chassis are dirty and as found. A complete project in all important respects. It runs now and there is no reason it couldn't be made to run and drive reliably without losing the patina.
Market commentary
The originality and equipment of this Regal is miraculously original, fantastically sporting and overall delightful. Its potential as a 'preservation' automobile is sweet and its low stance, sparce coachwork and funky erect old top are marks of a car that would be ruined by conventional restoration. It is the essence of the sensibility embodied by Dr. Fred Simeone's and Miles Collier's crusade for preservation. Expensive? Not a bit. It is history as it it hard to find today and its result shows that today's bidders understood its significance.
