Market commentary

A magnificent automobile with power from a 525 cubic inch T-head six, the potential for this car is exceptional, even with the rather erect formal coachwork by a rarely seen but recognized coachbuilder in Chicago. C.P. Kimball closed down in 1929 and this must have been one of its last jobs. It is a sound value at this price even if this is only the beginning of the process and expense.
