Market commentary

Sold at RM's Meadow Brook auction in 2005 for $22,000, this is an unusually attractive car from the Thirties, particularly its rounded Miller-style radiator shell. The restoration has aged well and even the dated colors still look good -- and very sporting -- on it. It is a quality car at a respectable price.
