Equipment
Wheel covers, whitewalls, dual mirrors, dark blue cloth boot cover, Telefunken radio.
Condition
Owned by the Beck family, who made the Beck Spyders. Very good blemish-free older paint and chrome. Engine bay is spotless but not overly detailed. Other than two tiny, probably fixable scuffs on the passenger's seat the interior is immaculate. Spotless underbody. Not done yesterday, but this rare Pre-A Bent Window Cab is gorgeous and needs nothing.
Market commentary
Not sold at Worldwide Houston last year at a high bid of $300,000. That bid was appropriate and really should have been taken, especially considering the no reserve result here. Sometimes, patience with auction cars is rewarded, but not when you're holding out for much more than the car is really worth.
