keiser31 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 That is more like a 1925. Here is the 1929 DB coupe....also....they never called it a Doctor's coupe. It is the standard business coupe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Does it have the original style four cylinder engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack51 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 It is supposed to be all original. One paint upgrade 12 years ago and seat was re-done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklinman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Definitely looks to be a '25 or early '26. Also appears to be one of the "special" series with the plated radiator shell, bumpers, etc. Nice car. These are really well built cars, but are only realistically 35 mph or so road cars. Without seeing more details (interior, engine bay, etc.) it's difficult to put a value to it. If everything is nice I would say you're looking at anywhere between $7,500 to a max of $10,000.

keiser31 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Need more photos and information. What does the interior look like? You say it was redone. What material? Are those windows tinted? Photos of the engine, interior, underside, trunk and other areas would help to determine it's value. Was there or is there any rust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all the photos I have but will get more.What I have been told is that it's all original with one repaint and no rust. Seat might have been redone but looks original. It is part of a trade deal and I don't have a clue about anything this old and just trying to cover my money on the deal. I will get more pics and info and post them later or tomorrow.

DLynskey Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The tinted windows don't help the value any. It makes you wonder what other liberties were taken in the restoration. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The windows may have been tinted because they thought that was how it was, when they looked at their old glass. The plastic layer in the middle turned green over time and many don't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hang in here, Jack51. 'Round these parts, cars this old are kind of a specialty of the house. By the time enough data and info is supplied and crunched, you will be confident in the price range to be determined. You came to the right place and are in good hands. From what I see so far, I really like the little coupe. Looks like it could be very solid and tight. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily rag Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Plain plate glass in those cars no, tinting. I would also get rid of the trophy top on the radiator cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-mman Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 What people are trying to tell you is that in old cars (like with so many collectibles) DETAILS MATER! Among old cars it is very common that one year is 'priceless' and the next year is 'worthless'. The word "original" has VERY SPECIFIC meanings (especially around here) and can significantly affect both price AND interest. Imagine if somebody posted a picture of a house asking for a valuation but could not correctly state where it was located? or that the description and picture did not match between one story and two story . . . ? But they still want to know what it was worth. . . Same as if somebody asked what some stock was worth without saying the name of the company or how many shares they had. You can get excellent help here BUT exact information is critical. The more information AND PICTURES the more accurate your answer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I would guess it is worth more than $5000. Edited January 10, 2019 by JFranklin (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chistech Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The look of that car strikes me odd. It looks lowered to me. I don’t know the DB models so I’m just stating the impression I get from the photos. The tires almost look too close to the fenders too but I’m probably wrong.

chistech Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Had a look on the internet and it appears that’s the way they look. Possibly the grass is helping it look lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwells Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Jack51, I'm pretty sure most here are wanting to be helpful, but as many have indicated without a good deal more info, it's going to be really hard to anything other than a stab in the dark in terms of value.

gwells Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Jack51, You posted the same thing in three different forums here and, by long-standing internet convention, that's kinda frowned upon; it's called 'cross-posting.' I've merged all three threads together and have deleted the duplicate posts to clean up the merged thread, which is here in General Discussion. Just wanted to let you and everyone else know what happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Good idea. I have been following this, but got a little confused. Hadn't totally realized I was trying to find some "missing" responses. This should be a more effective format, all info on the same place. Unusual, "lovable" body style on a good "Nickel era" chassis. Really looking forward to seeing more pictures ! I hope it is good enough to find a new home here. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Certainly no apologies needed. No big thing. Our moderators do a fine job making AACA forum the great worldwide tool that it is. I myself do not feel comfortable trying to figure out the value of your car. But the guys here will get you very close with many more pictures of everything. I once helped a friend who had no computer skills sell his 1937 LaSalle two-door sedan. I loaded 40 or 50 pictures to send to any prospective buyers. Second guy to call me bought it with no questions asked. You will have to submit pictures as per keiser31's third response above. This is particularly important due to the difficulty you may encounter in answering pertinent questions. Sadly, your friend's father would have been the only one who could have given the kind of verbal information needed. But somebody once told me that a picture is worth something like 100 words. Or was it 1,000? Good luck with the sale. I hope one of our guys is close enough to you to pay a visit. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some problem that prevents you or someone from taking more pictures to post in this thread so we can give you informed opinions as to the car's value?

Not trying to be all negative on you, but I personally wouldn't want to be that deep into it, at least with what information I have thus far. A very decent '25 Roadster (a much more desirable body style) sold recently for about half that amount. Again, I'm not saying you don't have a nice car. If it's mechanically right you still have a great car that will give you a lot of fun. You may not be able to get what you've got in it out of it if you're looking to sell it, but if you bought it to enjoy then I wouldn't worry too much. These early four-cyl DBs are really good cars, they just don't seem to bring significant money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
