Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Automatic, P S, P B, WonderBar radio, aftermarket spinner wheel covers, wide whitewalls. A really neat car in great Fifties colors with a very disappointing, superficial cosmetic restoration. Good paint, chrome and interior but sloppily put together with body seals left off, bad door fit, etc. Probably okay as a weekend cruiser but not likely to be very satisfying.

Market commentary

This is a tough call, because the car is inherently very attractive and interesting particularly these days when interest in station wagons is high. On the other hand its condition and the visibly sloppy workmanship is discouraging. The price is modest, but the experience of owning such a mediocre (a generous characterization) car is unlikely to be made good enough even by the modest price paid for it.
