Hagerty expert commentary
Our staff has reviewed this vehicle. Here are our notes.
Equipment
420/265hp, 3-speed, wire wheels, blackwalls, sidemount spares, suicide doors, rumble seat, luggage rack dual horns, engine-turned dash, wood door panels. ACD certified class 1.
Condition
Formerly owned by Pacific Auto Rentals, the company that loaned out interesting cars for Hollywood films, and its best-known appearance was in WHatever Happened to Baby Jane? Restored in the 1990s-2000s and further sorted in the 2010s. Overall presentation of the body and paint is excellent, there are no notable flaws. There is a small leak at the back of the transmission, otherwise the underbody has been kept in excellent condition. The driver''s seat exhibits minimal wear. An astonishingly well maintained older restoration.
Hagerty Condition Rating#2 ExcellentCould win a regional car show. Drives like new.
