Market commentary

Reported sold at Mecum's Monterey auction last August for $1,193,250 with the Blue leather interior it wore then now accompanying it in a box, it looks better with plaid (and will be more comfortable). Why the consignor decided to take a $200,000 hit after just five months is a mystery but the buyer got the advantage of a very good Gullwing for a moderate price.
