Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Black wire wheels, Denman blackwall tires, mesh radiator stone guard, Sliding Boy radiator mascot, Depress Beam headlamps, luggage rack, Packard trunk rack, dual sidemounts, single Hallco taillight, dash clock, dual spotlights, rear window curtains, books and tools.

Condition

Tired overall and with some surface rust but not dirty or rotten. New tires. Rare Opera Coupe featuring two doors but a very spacious and well-appointed rear passenger area with probably original upholstery except on the driver's seat cushion. A relatively clean and straight survivor that would be a strong candidate for a sympathetic restoration or refurbishing.

Market commentary

An exceptionally unusual body style in mostly original condition. It can be used as is, and would be difficult to justify a restoration it is so well preserved. At this price, however, the choice is up to the new owner with pretty much anything being a practical alternative.
