Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Brass radiator, varnished wood spoke wheels, blackwall tires. An older 1950s restoration. Small dents and chips in the sheet metal and paint, underside driver quality. Wheels are in excellent condition but cosmetically aged. Interior and top look newer and appear to be vinyl. Engine bay is dirty. Catalog states that the car has been static for a number of years and that the dashboard may not be correct. Nethercutt Collection. No Reserve.

Market commentary

These big early touring cars are finding interest among a new generation and the added attraction of this Owens electromagnetic drive train adds interest. For the price paid the owner can correct a few flaws and go through the drivetrain to make it roadworthy again without being upside down. A good value in an unusual automobile.
