Condition
Good paint and chrome. Excellent interior. Detailed engine bay. Tidy undercarriage. Lightly discolored whitewalls. In the same family from 1929 until last year, and restored from 2000 to 2003. Received several AACA awards shortly after.

Market commentary
A handsome, lightweight, sporting roadster with ample power and a modest pricetag.
