Equipment
Carello headlights, Michelin blackwall tires, clear plastic side window visors, double bubble roofline.
Condition
Restored four years ago with great paint, chrome and interior. The engine compartment is a fresh, crisp, like new, delight. Then they polished the brass brake lines, just for fun and a little statement that emphasizes what could have been done to ruin the stock appearance. Bravo!
Market commentary
It's an especially good car when I call my restorer acquaintances over to see what's under the hood; even better when they agree. That was this Flaminia, a really choice example of how it can be, and should be, done. Was the consignor mad to decline the reported high bid? It's so sweet it's hard to disagree with the decision. The only mad ones were the bidders who wouldn't give a little bit more for a desirable model with the right coachwork that's been done to such high standards.
