Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Remote spotlight, trim ring, whitewalls. Good repaint, upholstery top, otherwise a clean largely origil car. Dash and instruments not done and need to be. Weak chrome. Superficially redone underhood. A presentable but ultimately disappointing tour car. No Reserve.

Market commentary

The disappointing attention to detail in this Fords restoration is apparent in the bidders modest reception for it. Theres a long way between this car and the one envisioned by the catalog estimate, particularly the high end of the range.
