Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
First owned by Ginger Rogers, who wore high heels and even roller skates while matching Fred Astaire tap for tap dance. The paint is original and in fair condition with plenty of scratches, peeling, and a few small dings. The interior is in good condition. There is some piping that has separated on the driver seat, but the rest of the upholstery is in good condition and free any large cracks or tears. The dashboard, instruments clusters and gauges appear complete and are in good condition. The engine bay is maintained but a bit tired and dirty. Originally owned by Ginger Rogers.
Market commentary
When it comes to car values, Ginger Rogers is certainly no Steve McQueen, and she was in her 60s when she bought this car. Nobody seemed to be interested, and it brought a price that any other tired old Coronet would ordinarily expect to bring in this condition and in this setting. But Ginger was way more than that, as this YouTube video will demonstrate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwMA9H69qVc
