Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, dual sidemounts, sliding divider, jump seats. An older concours quality restoration for Bill Lassiter, one of four Murphy Town Cars. Spectacular presentation let down only by some polisher swirl in the paint and a little age. Intriguing colors and extremely handsome coachwork.

Market commentary

The rest of these Murphy Town Cars are locked away in various collections, not likely to appear any time soon. The quality and elegant design of the coachwork obviates the markets usual disdain for formal town cars. It really is worth more than the reported high bid.
