Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Don Ricardos Bonneville record setter. Moon discs, roll bar, fire extinguishers, 4 spoke woodrim steering wheel, competition belts. Hand painted Bonneville livery, pimply old paint, good chrome, worn but sound origil interior. Musty inside. Engine safety wired and clean. Mostly origil and well preserved but needs freshening.

Market commentary

A unique bit of history, offset by the cars somewhat tired condition after years of dormancy. The bid seems realistic.
