Market commentary

An elegant example of a formal car from the late Twenties but in less than good condition and needing a lot more work than the $30K alrealy spent on it, this Lincoln could swallow up the amount already spent on it an more before its ready to be driven, and multiples of that before its ready to be shown. The car is already under water and could have been sold for the reported high bid without regret.
