Market commentary

One of only 82 Adventurer convertibles built in 1958 and gorgeous in its bright white livery set off by the gold anodized rear fender panels, this is a charismatic and extremely rare automobile that has been meticulously restored and maintained. It brought a reasonable price for what it is.
