Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, blackwall time, dual sidemounts, dual Heller spotlights, fog lights, cowl mounted trafficators, trunk rack. CCCA National First Prize 2691. Concours restored with some sympathetic subsequent use and age. Strong paint, chrome, upholstery, interior wood and top. Still close to concours.
Market commentary
This was a smart consignment, trading on and following RMs unprecedented array of giant 8 cylinder supercharged Mercs, this rather pedestrian but beautifully restored and presented 290 Cab D was an opportunity for the rest of the audience to share in the excitement. It paid off with a full price for the seller but still a lot of automobile for the new owner.
