Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Jump seats, rear compartment floor heater, rollup division, pulldown window shades on all five rear windows, rollup door and rear quarter windows, dual sidemounts, body color wire wheels, blackwall tires, Vista drum headlights with B&L lenses. Thorough but now aged old restoration with tired paint, worn nickel and sound but aged interior. Imposing but needs a lot of help. Formerly part of the Harrahs collection.

Market commentary

A little known luxury marque from India, McFarlans were in fact one of Americas highest quality automobiles during the few years they were produced. Powered by a 102hp 573 cubic inch 4 valve inline six cylinder engine, each McFarlan was built to order and emulated Rolls Royce in more than the shared radiator design. This car brought $20,000 in the 1984 Harrahs auction when it was presumably in pretty much the same condition as it appeared here in Hershey where it brought a price that will allow its new owner to tour it with pride or undertake an expensive but ultimately rewarding restoration.
