An aged but still usable cosmetic restoration with presentable paint, newer seat coverings, good top and chrome. Comes with origil sales brochures, registration and a photo of it in the showroom.

Market commentary

Very rare and a welcome addition to any orphan car show, this is much more than one third the value of the restored 48 Ambassador Convertible which RM sold here a year ago for $104,500, however it was the 2006 price that was the anomoly and this one which is more representative of historic values, although perhaps a little light of the value of this well preserved two owner car. Well bought.
