Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Fog lights, wide whitewalls, radio, heater. An old restoration with a quick repaint. Cracked leather, crazed steering wheel hub, chrome cracked on windshield post, chassis superficially cleaned up. A tired and not very well maintained Cord.

Market commentary

Reported bid to $187,000 at RMs Arizo auction in January. Bidders willingness to pay for this cars desirable body style and not its condition seems to be declining steadily. The market today wants quality above all. Buyers want to be confident theyll still enjoy owning a car even if the market takes a dive. Its time to let this Sportsman go, quickly. The next time it crosses the block itll be a $125,000 car, if theres any money at all for it.
