Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Fluid Drive, hubcaps, Sombrero trim rings, narrow whitewalls, pushbutton radio, fog lights, grille guard, windshield sun visor.

Condition

Mediocre old repaint with cracks and fisheyes. Fair older interior. Scratched chrome and pitted taillights. Repaired fenders and doors don't fit flush. Right front fender is filled and blistered. Looks OK from ten feet and runs OK, but isn't much more than a relic. The odometer reads 36,050 and is probably on its second time around.

Market commentary

While it is large enough inside to hold a neighborhood party the sloppy body work does not bode well for its survival or trouble free enjoyment and it brought a price appropriate to its condition and lack of much intrinsic appeal except to someone whose father or grandfather owned something similar.
