Equipment
Steel wheels, blackwall tires, fender skirts. Head number A 8002-8. Reproduction data plate.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Good older paint, chrome and interior. Once was restored like new, now has plenty of miles and looks like a three-year-old used car. Dirty, neglected engine and underbody. Worn carpets and top. A good driver.
Market commentary
Bonhams offered this car at its Quail Lodge sale barely a month earlier where it found no buyers at an estimate of $70,000-100,000. Offered again, the reserve was met at $42,000 and determined bidders pursued it assiduously from there in small increments. This is not a very good example of its type, and this is a generous price for it, particularly including the commission.
