About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Poor old partial and mismatched repaint, sound old upholstery, vinyl-wrapped steering wheel, frayed window seals, fair chrome. Filled body. A good basis for a restoration.

Market commentary

It won't be cheap to restore, but when it's done it will be an example of one of the most beautifully designed American automobiles of the 1950s, and that is more than good enough to support the price it brought here.
