Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Presented to Babe Ruth in 1940 by the New York Yankees. Dual spotlights, enclosed rear spare, radio, skirts. Poor older repaint with acne, worn but usable original interior, fair chrome. Mostly original, odometer shows 40,428 miles. Little used since bought by the present owner in 1990 and in need of comprehensive attention to protect and preserve it.

Market commentary

The Babes ownership would seem to have added $40 50,000 to this Continental Convertibles value, a not unreasonable increment in the country where baseball ranks right up there with apple pie and the last Checker cab to operate in New York City is worth $. By that standard, The Babes Continental even at $110,000 is a great value,
