Market commentary

Aside from the aberration of RMs 2006 sale of Jerry Capizzis Premiere convertible for $275,000, this is a record price, and it deserves to be, not only because of the cars inherent rarity and distinction, or its exceptional restoration, but also because of this examples wonderful colors. It doesnt get much more Fifties than this.
