Market commentary

Sold by RM at Hershey in 2013 for $30,250, offered by Bonhams at Greenwich in 2015 with a reported high bid of $24,000 and sold by RM at Hershey last fall for $35,200, a staggering result for a neglected old T-bird. This is not a 'Preservation' vehicle, it's been passed around accumulating 31 miles since 2015 and getting no attention at all. It deserved the price it brought here and maybe now will end up getting some attention.
