Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Two tops, tonneau cover, power steering, power brakes, back-up lights, engine dress-up kit, wire wheels, whitewall tires, telescopic steering column, power windows, Town & Country radio, Ford invoice.

Condition

Partially restored some time ago. Paint overall is mostly good with some cracking by the door frames and some fading. Brightwork is scratched and thinning, but not pitted. Rubber seals are good except for on the hard top, where they are cracking. Hard top insulation not properly fitted. Engine is thoughtfully detailed. Interior shows little use.

Market commentary

Baby Birds are currently viewed as the canary as to whether simple demographics have shifted the collector car market. Even if the answer is "not yet," these cars aren't strong buys at the moment. Amount offered could have been taken without regret.
