Market commentary

A really sharp, impressive Murphy sedan with great coachwork even if the top doesnt go down. Sold for $792,000 at RMs Hershey auction in 2012 and brought a similarly superior price here today. The age of the restoration in almost irrelevant to its condition, so well has it been done and maintained.
