Market commentary

Sold at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in 2001 for $52,920 in freshly restored, better then new condition, then again at B J Scottsdale in 2003 for $48,060. It has been meticulously maintained with just over 500 more miles on the odometer today than it had in 2001. It is wonderfully liveried in brilliant Fifties colors and has much going for it including, now, a very healthy price history. Few cars can boast this kind of price appreciate over the last seven years.
