Equipment
312/245hp, automatic, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, dual mirrors, power steering, bench seat, column shift, pushbutton radio, dash clock, brown vinyl boot cover.
Condition
Excellent paint, chrome and interior. All like new. Top is flawless and fits perfectly. Engine bay and underbody are fresh, shiny, spotless and highly detailed. Door gaps are uneven, more so on the driver's side but other than that it is a flawlessly restored show car.
Market commentary
This is huge money for a '57 D-code Sunliner, but this also is a beautifully restored example that is unlikely to find its match in quality and presentation any time soon. The consignor found the right venue, even as the prices of Fifties' cars swoon, and should re-set the value curve, but entirely reasonably.
