Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Enclosed rear spare, body color steel spoke wheels with hubcaps, trim, rings and wide whitewall tires, greyhound, radio, clock, no heater.

Condition

Sold by RM at the Charlie Thomas Collection sale in October for $33,000, a sound and presentable but not particularly engaging car with numerous shortcomings A little work, though, and some freshened gauge faces could transform its presentation, and it is a rare and desirable body style, one of 5,601 built by Ford this year The body style is particularly well adapted to touring, being adaptable between fully open and snugged up inside the top and rollup windows when the weather turns bad

Market commentary

An older restoration with miles then quickly resprayed. Overspray on frame. Engine and chassis are aged. Gauges have dirty crystals and dirty old faces. Needs a good home.
