Equipment
327 300hp, Powerglide, chrome wire wheels, Blue line tires, A C, AM FM, custom side exhausts, P W, custom taillights, floor grates and vanity mirrors. Tires actually are gold line Firestones retouched in Blue. Built by Bill Mitchell for Ozzie Olson (owner of Olsonite, the race car sponsoring plastics manufacturer upon whose product all of us have sat at some time.) Documented history, restored better than new. Excellent paint, chrome, glass and chassis. Interior is origil and has some surface cracks but is sound, supple and attractive while also being a little musty.
Market commentary
Rerun of F56. One of the Star Cars at Mecums Bloomington Gold auction and one of the few of the stars that sold, taking two tries to find its level. The history and unique design make it much more important that its otherwise mundane configuration distinguished only by a few special Bill Mitchell styling touches, and a sound value for the money.
