Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Firewall number 2253. Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual chrome wrapped sidemounts, dual windshields, Pilot Rays, luggage rack, no trunk. Good old restoration with brilliant chrome, good paint and interior. Handsome colors. Reproduction body based on the original Willoughby sedan, completed by Don Criteser in 1987. A very handsome job it is, too.

Market commentary

Its not a real body and so the value takes a dump. For a driver more interested in driving something very attractive and well restored it represents a great value for the money spent, though. The price here is fair to both buyer and seller.
