Equipment
289/170hp, supercharged, 4-speed pre-selector, radio, new wide whitewall tires.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
An older restoration with paint in fair condition with some age blemishes including cracking paint on top of the cowl. The interior is good with wear on front seat and soiled front carpets. Driver’s side door handle droops. Glass is good. Chrome good with minor scratches on the windshield frame. Top slightly wrinkled from long term storage folded. A driver quality Cord with an ACD Category 1 Certification of well-known history even if the chassis number was arbitrarily selected from a list of missing examples.
Market commentary
This is a sound but tired older restored Phaeton and it should have been sold for much less than this price. This isn’t a record price, but it probably is, even with the ACD Certification, for this car’s condition and the bogus chassis number. It was a no-sale at Bonhams Quail Lodge three years ago at a much more reasonable bid of $85,000.
