Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

3 speed, pushbutton radio, fog lights, P Seat. Bad old repaint, otherwise original. Discolored interior, pitted chrome, clean original chassis. Why is this neglected T bird at Amelia Because its first owner was Briggs S. Cunningham and he drove it around Europe in 1955.

Market commentary

This is an example of Cunninghams eclectic approach to automobiles. If they were fun and sporty, he probably owned them. The result here is a modest premium for this T birds unique history. Sympathetically restored, it will be a standout at any venue and is one of only a few T birds that will get respect from the sporty car set.
