Market commentary

Easily one of the most charismatic cars at Auburn Fall, a meticulous restoration that brought onlookers to it again and again with its subtly attractive colors and then rewarded closer looks with the caliber of its presentation. A fabulous price for a Firedome convertible, but this is a fabulous Firedome. If a buyer's desire is to own the best the premium paid for this Firedome is a realistic price for the confidence of knowing it's a car than needs no excuses.
