Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Mason engine with exposed valve gear, crossflow head, origil tool box and tools, electric starter. All origil, sound, complete and pretty wonderful. Peeling paint, cracked upholstery, fragile top, gunky engine and chassis. Believed to be just three owners from new, and looks like it. No Reserve.

Market commentary

I think this remarkable, wonderful survivor is worth more than the amount paid for it. It will have to be preserved and used carefully but is an artifact of history that is unlikely ever to be seen again. Restoring it would be a crime.
