About Hagerty’s condition ratings
Fair repaint, old but sound chrome, good interior. Orderly but aged engine compartment, very used chassis and underbody. A sound but somewhat used and neglected car with good eye appeal.
Market commentary
Franklin's last gasp, a REO Flying Cloud with Franklin's air-cooled engine. A historic milestone, like owning the last year of Pontiac or Oldsmobile production, but otherwise unimportant. The seller should be highly satisfied with this price, but the buyer, even though paying top dollar, got a bit of bragging rights and a distinctive, rare car.
