Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Overdrive 3 speed, wide whitewalls, radio, heater, skirts. Good paint, interior and chrome, clean chassis. Grille chrome starting to flake. Shows some use and age, paint could be better detailed, but a very sound appearing Continental.

Market commentary

Compare this price with the tired and shaky one that brought $22,680 an hour or so later and the challenge in front of the other buyer is apparent. This is what we mean when we say buy the best car you can afford. The buyer of this Continental spent $40K more but can drive, polish, show and enjoy his car without worrying about it and be proud of it in the process.
