Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Red centerlock wire wheels, badge bar, rear mounted spare wheel, rear luggage rack, wood rim steering wheel.

Condition

Dull, pitted chrome Dull old paint Cracks on the front of the hood Scratches and cracks on the fenders and hood louvers Cracks around doors Dusty, dirty but unripped top Shabby but dry and complete underneath Interior is a bit worn and the seat has some long scratches on it Surprisingly clean engine bay All original and consigned by the original owners son It looks rough, but this car is all there and still usable Its also, like all collector cars, only original once

Market commentary

A slight premium for the patina and originality was paid here with a price several grand over what an older restoration in this condition would bring, but the Greenwich bidders refrained from going bonkers over originality.
