About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Meticulously and accurately restored to better than showroom condition a few years ago and still show quality. Shows no signs of use or age at all, not even a little stretching of the driver's seat covering. Brilliant chrome, spotless engine, gorgeous paint. A real showpiece from the Jim Miller collection.

Market commentary

It's difficult to put a value on such a superbly, accurately, meticulously restored car. Aside from the usual, 'it would be impossible to duplicate for the price paid even if the car were free' observation, value is in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder, and the beholders in Hershey knew what they were doing. This is Skyliner money, but few if any Skyliners are as beautiful as this Crown Vic.
