Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

292/200hp, automatic, Kelsey Hayes wire wheels, dual mirrors, rear fender skirts, power steering, power top, padded dash, bench seat, column shift, radio.

Condition

Frame-up restored Texas car showing 43,388 believable miles and sporting a quite impressive original interior. Dull original brightwork. Sound older repaint with a little overspray in the wheel wells. Top is a bit wrinkled and discolored. Very clean undercoated chassis. A cared for, but not exquisite, older restored driver.

Market commentary

Sold by Auctions America at Auburn Fall in 2014 for $25,300, giving the seller here a year and a half of use and enjoyment plus a small profit after commissions (almost enough to cover the transportation costs both ways and pay the entry fee here.) It is an enjoyable, practical drop-top car that appears to have led a good life, the ideal way to get started in car collecting and even at this price not an expensive way.
