That said, the Concours d'Elegance events have great awards and I especially love the Dayton Concours d'Elegance awards. I like this idea. However, I’m happy I have my dads ACD awards from the 50s and 60s, especially for the cars we still have. Another exception would be Amelia and Pebble give out trophy’s that are works of art. Fisher Island back in the day they were literally art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md murray Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The listing says its on consignment to 'Classic Car Deals' but still physically located at the consignors home in NH. I wonder what parts it's actually missing/lacking to finish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md murray Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 So it would seem from the listing. It looks kinda like a craigslist lawnmower ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt, dont give the guy too much credit! Everything that "dealer" (and I'm using that term loosely) has on his site is grossly overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Fan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) There are guys that broker cars. Ie, the see a car listing. Copy it. Add 20-50 percent to the price. If they get a bite , they negotiate the deal between the buyer and seller. I am pretty sure that is what this guy does. He used to have 1000s of adds when it was free on Craigslist. search this forum: classic car deals, Cadillac Michigan Edited April 6, 2021 by Cadillac Fan (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 This was at the Rm auction at Hershey 2021. Sold for around 400k all in. Has real history and went to a big time collection. I loved it so much it made me think of the coupe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, about three weeks ago I read through this thread again completely and looked at all the pictures I could find of this car on previous websites and listings. It is a special car, but to take it to the finish line is some thing I don’t have the confidence to attempt. I wish I did. Pull the trigger on this thing.

alsancle Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I think a lot would depend on the quality of the work that was done. The colors gave me pause. The roadster was beautiful. Just needs the whitewalls and trip lights thrown in the trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
