Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Power steering, power brakes, push-botton AM radio, dual rear-mounted antennas, swivel seats, a tri-color vinyl-cloth interior, chrome wire wheels, whitewall tires. Ex-Wayne Davis Collection.

Condition

One of 984 Custom Royal Lancer convertibles built. Comprehensively restored to like new conditon. No longer fresh but still breathtaking without a powerful flashlight and close, fussy inspection.

Market commentary

About as good as it can be with allowance for the age of the restoration, this Custom Royal D-500 Convertible brought $137,500 at Mecum's Monterey auction in 2010 and hardly less valuable today despite the premium added to the buyer's final price. A real showpiece of 'The Forward Look.'
