Equipment
298/70hp L-head four, 4-speed, Cadillac Motometer, Flintex drum headlights, rumble seat, dual rear-mounted spares, drum pedestal spotlight.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Dull old paint, not as old upholstery but still old, cracked ancient top. The last car of the fabled Lindley Bothwell collection, a relic that will get a complete restoration and knock us dead. Runs with difficulty.
Market commentary
Although the catalog describes “an appealing patina” there is nothing appealing about the ratty, neglected, and deteriorated condition. It is pure and simple a restoration project but one in a rare chassis and body style that deserves the six figures its restoration will take. Having the last car of any series is significant; the last car of the Lindley Bothwell collection is equally meaningful and if this is what it took to own it, good for the new owner.
