Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Ford Zephyr 6 cylinder powered, with bench seat and full envelope body, Allard thought this was an improvement on the J and K series, but it never sold worth a darn. Good older restoration that shows subsequent use but is still in nice condition.

Market commentary

J and K Allards were crudely built and evil handling beasts, but their brutality is also their charm, which the Palm Beach didnt capture. The price of this example is strong, when you consider that RM sold a flathead powered K for $24,675 two weeks ago
