Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Jump seats, chrome wire wheels, rear mounted spare, Marchal lights. Engine turned body top surface, four cowl ventilators, wide whitewalls. Very flamboyant older concours restoration done in the late 80s by Mike Fennel for the Blackhawk Museum. Displayed there since and still in nearly show quality condition. Invited to the Amelia Island Concours following the auction.

Market commentary

Offered at The Auction in Las Vegas in 1991 in fresher condition, it was a $185,000 no sale there against a reported $250,000 reserve. Even for a lot more money sixteen years later its restoration has held up impressively well and it is still a show stopping car, bought for a reasoble price under the circumstances.
