Market commentary
Sold by RM here in 2006 for $1,001,000 and none the better for six years in John OQuinns warehouses and the seven additional miles on its odometer. On the other hand, its the only LWB dual cowl phaeton by LeBaron and has a long history with this engine in collections as diverse as John Troka, Tony Pascucci, William Coverdale and Bill Lassiter. Its style and uniqueness more than make up for the age of its restoration. It should be considered a good value at this price.
