About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Tiny chip on the left front fender. Very good paint otherwise. Very good, lightly worn interior. Straightforward, lightly aged high quality restoration. The Continental model was just badges, but it is noteworthy for being a one year only package and being a Pre-A bent-window 356 with its original engine.

Market commentary

Both the condition and rarity got the Quail bidders' juices flowing and brought this healthy but not over-eager result.
