Market commentary
A beautiful car massive but well proportioned and fast for its day. Generally thought to have been built for Packard director Frederick Alger but RM disclosed that the story of the creation has not been verified conclusively but rather strongly supported by people who were around in the period it was built. It seems the tale has lapsed into lore and didnt hurt the bidding one bit.
