Market commentary

A ride in a Twin Six is a life-changing experience. They're big, powerful and imposing; you feel like the King of the World, and if you'd owned one in the Teens you were because they were fabulously expensive. They've never been economical, this car selling at the 1985 Harrah's auction for $32,500, at Christie's Pebble Beach in 2002 for $70,500 and at Gooding Pebble Beach in 2004 for $88,000. Even at this price this is a monumental motor car worth every dollar of the price paid.
