Market commentary

It is unlikely that any Willys Americar coupe has ever been restored to such high standards, not even the few of them remaining, most having been turned into street rods or gutted to fit over a gas dragster chassis. This is an astounding example of the restorers art, done sympathetically and tastefully, a fact which the bidders appreciated. The price is nothing if not astonishing, however, even taking the quality of the restoration into account.
