Equipment
Blue stamped wheels, new wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts with full metal covers and mirrors, fender skirts, teardrop cast aluminum runningboards. The seat cloth and top are new but the door panels are older and soiled. The underside has been nicely detailed. Good older paint with touchups and good older chrome with light polishing marks and wear.
Market commentary
Coachbuilt Model Ks are beautiful cars but the market doesnt recognize them in the same category as coachbuilt Packards and Cadillacs, especially when they sport older restorations with what can be called strategic freshening. Sold by RM in Monterey in 2008 for $192,500, the expectations for this car today are excessive and the reported high bid could have been accepted without regret.
