Equipment
Wood spoke wheels, whitewall tires, Waltham clock, Warner speedometer, leather upholstery, vinyl top, Delco ignition.
Condition
Preserved from the 1940s by Charles and Sue Bovey in their Virginia City, Montana museum until 2000. Highly original with cracked and crazed old paint, repainted matte black to preserve and hold it together. Some upholstery is original, most is an old replacement. Extensively and successfully toured since 2002, too good and sound to restore with 27,122 miles from new. An original car with all the right kinds of patina that was brought back to good mechanical order while, when possible, retaining its preserved and unspoiled character. Should be enjoyed as the time capsule that it is.
Market commentary
Bought advantageously for the inherent quality of the Twin Six and the rarity of its remarkable originality. The Twin Six's quality is endorsed by the number of these cars that seem to survive in largely original and yet frequently used condition. Continued preservation and touring should be the objective of the new owner, it would a shame to restore this car.
