About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

From the LaQuay collection. From the final year of Oakland production. Large chip just beside the right front fender and a few small chips off of the painted wheels. The rest of the paint is pretty good, though, and was of high quality when it was done a while ago. The interior still looks fantastic. A car fully restored to high standards and lightly enjoyed since. It would make a solid, interesting driver as it sits, or could be a show car after another round of light restoration work.

Market commentary

Yes, there were V8s before Henry's flathead, and the Oakland engineers avoided Henry's fundamental mistake of routing the hot exhaust through the block. A rare car is decent condition, no one should argue with the price it brought.
