This car is probably the most heavily optioned example you're ever likely to see. From the estate of Jim Miller. A near perfect example inside and out. With all the accessories, this car is almost over the top. almost.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at Hershey in 2013 for $88,000. It is unlikely that the '55 Crown Vic market has taken off to this extent, let alone enough to make up for the fact that the Hershey price was expensive. While this is something like a 1/3 premium on the underlying value of this Crown Vic, it amounts only to something like $25,000, a drop in the bucket to some of the premiums brought elsewhere this week.
