Market commentary

This is a particularly attractive combination of design, engine and transmission and the Kissimmee bidders accorded it a particularly attractive price, too. The engine number may be a light stamping and in any event it is a Tri Power block. The price is appropriate to the cars originality, well preserved condition and powertrain, even if it is a $15,000 or so premium. It sure would have looked good in my garage.
