Equipment
Body color disc wheels, blackwall tires, rumble seat, rear mounted spare. Believed to be the lowest mileage surviving Wills Sainte Claire, with just 24,229 miles. Ex Harrahs and Bill Ruger, repainted, reupholstered and top replaced long ago, probably by Harrahs, and carefully preserved since the late 60s although now showing its age. Wonderful single overhead camshaft V 8 engine. Tired and neglected, this important car needs a good home.
Market commentary
At this price it probably found one. This is a truly exceptional price for a similarly exceptional car with impeccable provenance and highly desirable originality, a worthy contender for a place in any Preservation class competition. It is expensive, but is an opportunity that wont ever be encountered again, so if this is what it took to secure it the bidders determination is not to be questioned.
