Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Body side trim is yellowing and warped. Sound older repaint. Decent but dull original chrome and brightwork. Light pitting on the roof rack. Uneven gaps. The upholstery and carpets look like they were replaced a while ago. The dash is original but sound. Tidy undercoated chassis. Certainly not perfect, but it's a long-time California car that has gotten restoration work where it counts, and you hardly ever see these cars in any condition anymore.
Market commentary
This car got a lot of attention during the preview, as did the other neat vintage station wagons in the sale. The price paid here was absolutely on the expensive side, but it's justifiable when you think about how hard it will be to find another one this good or this well preserved.
