They are guesstimating $60-80K.

    I believe this car sold or was offered on eBay in the past. Check back posts...

    Would it really sell for over $60K??? Orange peeled paint, Vinyl interior, et al?



    In this economy, I doubt it.



    If you can, find a copy of the Henry Rasmussen book entitled Decade of Dazzle. The car on the cover appears to be this one or a close relative. A close up pic of it in the forward shows a really tired car.

    I hate to pick it apart but what the hey...



    Wrong engine color ('54 or up, unless they painted it wrong)

    Wrong Air Filters (looks like a Wasp one in back)

    Can't tell a whole lot from the pictures but it sure would have been nice to see if it had backup lights. I doubt it.



    $60 to 80 K. Too rich for me.

    Pretty sure this came out of the Astor collection, the same one that the Barrit limo came out of. I saw it in person. It sold for about the same price which was sixty ish. More than double what I think it is worth. Nice solid car with wrong interior, etc. I'd consider it a high # 3 car .
