Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Fabulously equipped but showing its age and some use. Paint cracks here and there, dull nickel, creased and soiled seats and carpets. Grebel headlights and spotlight, dual windshields, more gauges than a fighter plane, running board mounted luggage, dual sidemounts, glass windshield visors. Cataloged as a drawing room on wheels, which is entirely appropriate. A touring vehicle of wondrous complexity.

Market commentary

This automobile deserves the adjective fantastic. That it actually exists, and isnt a fictiol figment of Clive Cusslers imagition, is a wonderment. You could write a childrens book (and maybe even something for adults) themed around its many features, accessories and the adventures its occupants could have had in it. Babar the Elephant must have owned such an automobile. Oh, the price Its cheap by these standards, although perhaps reasoble is more appropriate by car collectings measures. I love this car.
