Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Black wire wheels, blackwall tires, dual sidemounts with mirrors, drum headlights, roll-up division, pull-down shades rear compartment clock, smoker's kit, communication microphone.

Condition

Poor quality TV car paint job used in 'Boardwalk Empire'. Weak old chrome, tired original rear compartment upholstery and trim, broken division window crank. Orderly but aged underhood. A typical movie/TV car but sound and largely complete as the basis for a restoration. No coachbuilder identification.

Market commentary

A superficially redone car made to look good to a TV camera at 50 feet, with no interior shots, please. It should have been gone and away long before reaching the reported high bid, even with the functional coachwork and highly original interior (that needs to be redone). Any mention of 'originality' or 'preservation' is obviated by the $200 paint job.
