Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Silver wire wheels, luggage trunk, rumble seat, wide whitewalls, dual enclosed sidemounts, single Pilot Ray, Guide driving lights. 13,889 miles, same ownership last forty years. An old restoration that has been carefully stored and maintained at Volo for years. Impressive for the age of its restoration and still very presentable. It would be a shame to restore it. Its that good.

Market commentary

This is just a sweet, sweet old car with a restoration that is so old and mellow it has nearly returned to survivor small s stature. It is a marvel of quality, soundness and style and the buyer showed rare judgment to discern its inherent quality and value. The Duesenberg may have headlined the classics return to Belvidere but this Cord Front Drive showed that even among the muscle and pony car buyers there was a very intelligent and perceptive appreciation for really great classic cars.
