Market commentary
Bonhams offered this car at Quail in 2005 where it was a $215,000 no sale, then by RM at Amelia and London, both in 2009 where it was unsold at bids of $221,000 and $223,104 respectively. It attracted deserved attention here at Hershey and finally found a new home where it will hopefully continue to be preserved and occasionally exercised. It is the definition of the concept of stately. A little hand painted canework on the cream bodyside accent would spiff it up, but it doesnt need or warrant any more up spiffing than that.
