Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual enclosed sidemounts, luggage trunk.
Condition
An older concours quality restoration for the Imperial Palace Collection now starting to lose its edge. Window sill chrome is wearing through on the right door. A known car with a long history, it is represented as the original engine, chassis and body with one of Murphy's more attractive closed bodies.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at Amelia in 2006 for $693,000, at Gooding & Company Scottsdale in 2009 for $836,000 and at RM in Arizona in 2011 for $742,500, it didn't make much impression on the Amelia Island bidders today and went home with its owner, who may have to adjust expectations for its value.
