Equipment
Smiths oil pressure water temperature and SW water temperature gauges. Superficial old cosmetic re do with more recent refrigerator white repaint. Good older interior. Engine and chassis show lots of use and no restoration. A disappointing auction car.
Market commentary
This Cord needs everything but at this price theres no financial headroom to do much more than some detailing. It was bought by a Cadillac collector who had no idea what it was and had never laid eyes on it until it hit the block. He said, I was just struck by how pretty it was and the price seemed reasonable. Another victim of Gordon Buehrigs brilliant design, otherwise known as being Corded. This might have been a reasonable value at $35,000.
