Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Flathead V8, three Strombergs on progressive linkage, Offenhauser heads, stock exhaust manifolds, alternator. Steel wheels, wide whitewalls. Fair old repaint, sound but creased upholstery, some flaky chrome. Sound fiberglass body. Orderly underhood. Interesting but not choice. Al Wiseman Collection. No Reserve.

Market commentary

This is a sound and usable example of the many cars built during the Fifties and Sixties with fiberglass bodies on production chassis and running gear. It isnt individually distinctive but fits Al Wisemans collecting theme of cars that display important aspects of the automobiles evolution. The buyer astutely recognized its positive attributes and took home a very good value.
