Equipment
Dual sidemounts with Beige cloth covers, wheel covers, wide whitewalls, rumble seat, Delco radio, rollup oval rear window. Excellent older restoration with quality paint, interior and wood showing some age but little use. One of the great examples of American coachwork designed by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, winner of multiple concours awards in Europe in 1930. Later owned by Brooks Stevens. Best in Class, Co Chairmens Trophy and Peoples Choice winner at Pebble Beach in 1987. A C D Category 1. A beautiful automobile with a wonderful history, very clean but showing some age.
Market commentary
Sold at Goodings Pebble Beach auction in 2008 for $1,078,000, the Hayes Coupe was more than a winner today, topping its already generous high estimate by 10% on the hammer. A legendary design that takes full advantage of the low slung Cord Front Drive chassis and deserves every penny of its extraordinary price today at the Ritz Carlton Amelia.
