Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual sidemount spares with mirrors, wind wings, painted wire wheels, Lester tires, Tilt Ray headlamps, Trippe lights, chrome radiator mascot, California black plate, wicker door accent, wood top frame, locking filler cap, rumble seat, luggage rack.

Condition

Tired paint and chrome. Tired wood in the top frame. Very good interior. Wicker trim is unstuck and flapping in the wind on driver's side. Used underneath. Shut lines are less than perfect. A very much used older restoration.

Market commentary

This car was blue with primed fenders, an incomplete restoration, when it sold at the 1985 Harrah's auction for $20,000. Finished a long time ago, it's still a strong car that can be made better with some effort but not a lot of expense. Not a bargain, but not expensive, either and the 80hp big six promises surprising performance.
