Market commentary
It was a crowd-pleaser in Greenwich, drawing plenty of admiring looks and close inspections of a car most of the people there had never seen in the metal. That close inspection, however, didn't work to the Cosmo's advantage, showing up the sloppy masking and pitted chrome that did nothing to reassure bidders of the underlying quality of the potentially expensive mechanical function below the surface. They stopped bidding at a prudent price; the seller held out for more and now the car will become more Cosmo-politan as it heads out in search of a buyer enthusiastic enough to discount the presentation, or await adjustment of the consignor's expectations.
