About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Sound but older paint and chrome. Light road wear underneath. Lightly wrinkled seats but otherwise good and fully restored interior. A handsome car in good colors that was fully restored a while ago and starting to show its age a bit even if it has no major shortcomings.

Market commentary

This result is a huge value, a J-2 Olds bought for a price that wouldn't buy most 220hp '57 Bel Air convertibles. It illustrates an issue faced by many up-market cars like Olds, Mercury and Dodge. They weren't coveted when today's collector car buyers were teenagers, unlike Fords, Chevys and Plymouths which were more accessibly priced, and today they are overlooked giving astute buyers opportunities like this. This is a bargain.
