Equipment
255/110hp, 3-speed, Wheel covers, wide whitewalls, heater, oil bath air cleaner, hood ornament, pushbutton AM radio, enclosed rear-mounted spare, three-row seating, column shift.
Condition
Tidy restored but used engine bay with some fuel on the carb and top of the engine. Very good paint and chrome. Inevitable wood issues with a handful of cracks and uneven panel gaps, but overall it's very good. It's very good on the inside as well. Quite hard to fault and a rare early station wagon with real wood panels to boot.
Market commentary
There's room inside for a platoon of friends or a large family. Fold down the rear seats and it's a fabulous surf wagon. It isn't hard to see how this consignor sought more, but how much more? The bid here wasn't unrealistic and the consignor may have trouble finding a more receptive audience except on the California coast.
