About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

No history represented, although there is an AACA National First Prize Senior badge. That was over 30 years ago, however, and the car hasn’t been pampered since. There are paint blemishes everywhere, from scrapes on the left front fender to chips on the doors and cracks on the roof. There isn’t any obvious rust underneath but it looks dirty and neglected. The door fit is terrible, and that really stands out on a car with such massive doors as these. Worn leather and wood, but nothing terrible. A usable Silver Wraith for very casual driving but almost nothing else.

Market commentary

This is a hard sell here, or anywhere. It is underpowered, the restoration is aging and it is a statement car for someone who wants to make idiocyncratic statements. It should have brought more than this, significantly more. The seller's reluctance to accept a tiny offer is understandable, but so is the bidders' reluctance to pay more than this for it.
