Market commentary
Sold by Bonhams at Quail Lodge for $172,000 in 2010 when it was tired, aged and in need of the restoration it subsequently got. It was a price that included an infatuation premium; the prospect of bringing out the swan in an otherwise ugly duckling. Since then it has been restored and was a post block sale at Bonhams sale in Scottsdale a year ago for $255,000 after being offered by Gooding here in Scottsdale in 2013 with a reported high bid of $280,000. It could have been sold with only slight regret at the reported high bid here but the combination of Springfield chassis and attractive original Brewster open coachwork holds promise of being worth more.
