About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The paint is still bright but as been touched up so many times in so many different places it would be unrealistic to wast time listing them all. Brightwork is dull. Door handles are pitted. The interior and seats are all heavily worn. Engine and the engine compartment has some mild dirt and wear. Underbody is clean but shows wear and several spots of rust starting. Represented as an older cosmetic restoration, but it's tired top to bottom.

Market commentary

This car reportedly comes out of a collection of Metropolitans, and when thinning the herd the easiest cars to part with are the worst ones. At least this example went for project car money, leaving the new owner some room to give the attention this car deserves, even if it will never be worth a ton.
