Market commentary

If this were the much more common (and less powerful) Bel Air Nomad in this kind of condition it would have brought 50 75% more than this relatively modest price. This might be market, but the market doesnt value these distinctive, rare cars sufficiently and makes them an under appreciated value waiting to be discovered. In the meantime, its a fun and distinctive car for a very reasonable price. 12% commission to a phone or internet bidder.
