Market commentary
The ultimate in late 50s luxury and prestige, the automobile of aristocrats, plutocrats and diplomats. Collectors vastly prefer cabriolets but this is the essential Adenauer 4 door hardtop, handsomely equipped. The presentation leaves a lot to be desired but is usable, attractive and low miles. Needs nothing to be enjoyed, but needs a lot to be shown, this is a full price for what it is but a lot of luxury and quality for the money.
