Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Cream wire wheels, dual sidemounts, flag staffs, dual spotlights, Zeiss trafficators on cowl, radiator stone guard, Scintilla head and tail lights, driving light. A tired old restoration that looks neglected and somewhat forlorn. Thin pitted chrome, tired paint cracking in creases, sound but aged interior, cracking mother of pearl around instruments. Missing the head off the left sidemount mirror.

Market commentary

Offered at Kruse Fall Auburn in 2001 where it was a no sale at $230,000 in substantially the same condition, with exactly the same mileage showing, except the paint had bit more sparkle. Not the most desirable body, but as the catalog notes it still sings like a banshee when the blower cuts in. Bought fairly to both buyer and seller here.
