Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Some signs of wear underneath. Freshly restored and just about perfect, plus it's impossible to ignore in these colors. Not the most valuable thing here, but arguably still the star of the show. ACD certified. Ardell Brown Estate.
Market commentary
There was a time when Lilac and Purple were chic among collectors and the lawn at Pebble Beach looked like a Spring Garden. A collector looking for other than a restoration preservation award will be quick to see this L-29 off to the paint shop where it can be toned down to look less like a Ruxton. That said, it is a superbly preserved three-decade old restoration and brought a price that reflects its rarity, style, design and condition.
