Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, rumble seat, dual sidemounts, single Pilot Ray. Engine turned instrument panel covered with transparent blue overlay; Black radiator grille without slats, polished hood side louvers, blackwall tires. The rumble seat has no lower step plate, effectively discouraging anyone from threatening the magnificent paint by actually climbing in. This is a superb automobile with matching original engine, chassis and body, freshly restored to the highest concours standards by Stone Barn.

Market commentary

Bought at RM Meadow Brook in 2000 for $550,000, an older restoration in White with Brown interior, and comprehensively redone since to its present magnificent presentation. Unsold on the block at $700K bid, this deal was concluded before the end of the sale and is amply justified by the cars innate quality, matching components and brilliant condition.
