Equipment
Fog lights. Good paint, interior and chrome. Largely like new with more miles on the restoration than are apparent on the car. One of only three A C D certified supercharged 812 Convertible Coupe Sportsmen, originally owned by bandleader Paul Whiteman. A handsome car showing careful and consistent care.
Market commentary
Saturday Prime Time. Barrett Jackson has become the place to sell Cords. From $324K for a supercharged Phaeton in 04 to $118,800 for a Westchester (which caught on fire leaving the block) and $172,800 for a Phaeton (both unblown), B J has delivered blockbuster prices for these refined, sophisticated cars. It might make you wonder what the other auctions are missing.
