Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

No Reserve. L head 2,494cc 58hp inline six powered, swing axle suspension front and rear, streamlined body with steel spoke wheels, covered headlights recessed in fender catwalks. Mostly original with sound but old paint, worn interior, dirty top, neglected and dirty underhood. An intriguing example of a rarely seen marque that presents a straightforward restoration project that could be driven until the restoration urge becomes unbearable.

Market commentary

Its hard to put this result in perspective, Adlers being largely unknown with a largely forgotten reputation for streamlining and excellent performance from modest engines. That may account for the exceptional price this sound and complete 2 1 2 Liter convertible achieved. It sets a benchmark for Adler prices, thats for sure.
