Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, pushbutton radio, fitted luggage. concours quality restoration to like new condition with better paint and chrome. Interior is lightly worn. Constructed by Ghia on a Chrysler Imperial chassis, the huge Adventurer II combines the vision of Virgil Exner with Giovanni Savonuzzis Supersonic concepts. Its nothing if not spectacular.

Market commentary

Barrett Jackson continued its record of achieving exceptional results for Fifties concept cars with the Adventurer II, although it wouldnt have been a surprise to see it bring even more.
