Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

I think this is a Westchester, since the back seat doesnt have a center armrest. Superficial old repaint. New front seat upholstery but cracked old back seat. Scruffy chassis. Not very pretty and doesnt give much confidence. Maybe its the rounded corners of the Cords design that reminds people of old Kelvinators and Frigidaires and causes them to paint so many of them refrigerator white

Market commentary

This car was bought in West Palm last March for $47,000 hammer, $51,700 with commission, by a guy who was captivated by Gordon Buehrigs timeless design. It was pretty ratty then and it hasnt gotten any better while adding just 36 miles to the odometer. He is very fortunate to get out of it this well and the $10,000 or so lost on it after commissions isnt even close to what it would have taken to make something decent out of it. The new owner has taken on a headache.
