About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent paint, beautiful chrome, nearly pristine upholstery and interior trim. Some pitting interior trim chrome. Excellent steering wheel. Some road use on the restored chassis but described as mechanically refurbished earlier this year. A very good Continental.

Market commentary

Modestly estimated by RM and bought even more modestly, it would not have been out of line to bring at least the $57,750 it sold for back in 2010 at RM’s Ft. Lauderdale auction. It is a bargain in this transaction. That happens sometimes at No Reserve but it was surprisingly overlooked here in Hershey where the bidders are usually better informed and on top of opportunities.
