Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Repainted at some time in the past. There are chips, scratches, and major rust appearing in the quarter panels. Trim is very aged with lots of pitting and scratches. Gaps are fair at best, with some sagging to the doors and the trunk lid has rubbed on the edges. Driver's mirror is broken. Front seat has a massive tear. Floorboard may be rusted out as well. Carpet is faded and the rear seat is ripped. The engine bay is aged and the engine was sprayed at some point, with exterior paint overspray in there. Underbody shows surface rust and age. An older cosmetic restoration of notable mediocrity, with plenty of miles since.
Market commentary
Auburn is often a place to find good, driver quality '50s American cars and this car looks good enough from a distance, but it's not for the faint of heart to get this car right and it will never be worth enough to recoup much of the money it will take to make it so, even at this price. In the end it's just a mundane family sedan.
