Equipment
319/110hp, 3-speed, blackwalls, disc wheels, Adonis radiator mascot, dual mirrors, suicide rear doors, rear-mounted spare, robe rail.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Rough, thick paint with numerous chips and scratches as well as a few small dents in the fenders. Chassis is tidy and was undercoated at some point. Interior is very good. Uneven door gaps. Lightly scratched rear glass. Dry, cracking old Goodyear tires. Tidy older restored engine bay. This car is pretty tired, although you could enjoy it as is, as it is also reported to be fully sorted mechanically. On the other hand, it's a solid, straight candidate for a thorough restoration.
Market commentary
The bidders apparently didn't find the "wonderful patina" of this standard Eight appealing even though it is a CCCA Full Classic (tm) and thus eligible for many events. It would be a fine way to experience quality Depression era motoring at reasonable cost, even for a few dollars more than the reported high bid.
