Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Reportedly one of only five survivors. Cosmetic restoration to very presentable condition but the chassis (and who knows what else) was superficially painted over old guck and grime. A very presentable and attractive driver. No Reserve.

Market commentary

RM hit a home run with a Zephyr at Arizona last year, getting $62,000 for a voluptuous 37 in Maroon. That set a benchmark that hasnt been approached since. While rare, the 42 also has an awkward frontal aspect that isnt nearly as pretty as the earlier Zephyrs. This car was a no sale at RMs Arizona sale in January at $35,000, so the wait was good for the seller.
