Market commentary
Anyone looking for the definition of a quality, 'sympathetic' cosmetic restoration needs to look no farther than this Continental. What's good enough has been left alone, what needed attention has received high quality work and materials. Matching the recovered front seat cushions with the original seatbacks and rear seat is flawless. The paint, chrome and dashboard are as good as any Pebble Beach car. The buyer is an experienced serial collector who stayed on this car 'til it was his and now will enjoy it in Europe this summer. Is it expensive? Yeah, but it also is of a quality and caliber that is rarely seen.
