This car was bought new by collector Greg Garrison to use on his ranch in Hidden Valley. Bought from his estate in 2011, accompanied by maintenance manual and photographs documenting the restoration. With only 1,350 miles on it was given the full over-the-top treatment, including the invention of a two-tone paint job, new floors, wiring, wicker seats, surrey top, instruments and chrome. Over the top and beyond perfect.
Market commentary
Jolly prices are hard to understand and even harder to predict, but no one could have predicted that this one, even in its far better than new condition, low miles (which begs the question, 'Why did it need new floors?') and intriguing Greg Garrison history would bring so much. The Gooding tent went silent as the bidding climbed, the onlookers struck dumb.
