Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

One piece lift off top, Lincoln ohv V8, automatic. Created by Earl Mad Man Muntz, TV salesman and inventor of the 8 track tape player. Attrocious paint, cheap vinyl interior, engine painted a uniform flat black. Hood fits like a breadbox lid.

Market commentary

Earl must have had a fear of compound curves. Jet is a Kaisers sisty ugler and a life in the scullery hasnt turned this one into Cinderella. Fairy Godmother, where are you Rarity and marque history alone have to justify the price.
