What he said.

 

Hood looks a mile long in that one shot.

Neat car, I agree. Price is optimistic to say the least.

By a factor of at least three, possibly.....

Or four........nice car......but the early year and color are not helping it achieve a high sale price.

Neat car and perhaps a fresh restored on going to pebble Beach Conours would bring that money and some more, an older restored one probably will not (albeit will be worth more than you think as the lower profile 8 cyl cars are quite rare and exceptionally stylish).

I like it, reminds me of the 143 I’ve seen at Tom Hubbards Franklin museum in Tucson

Think of a 136 sport phaeton as the belle of the ball and a 143 touring as the tall, awkward sister standing in the corner drinking punch.😉

I would point out to the young men present that the tall awkward girl in the corner drinking punch........her daddy is president of the bank.....

There’s something to be said for that.  
 

Living in New Orleans in the 1970’s, I was dating a very nice girl who was cute, but not overly so.  We were making plans for a weekend, and she said “Let’s go to Avery Island and ride horses”.  (Those of you who don’t know, Avery Island is home to the McIlhenney family and Tabasco sauce).

 

I looked at her and said, well, sounds nice, but I know for a fact they don’t rent horses on Avery Island.

 

”Don’t be silly”, she responded, “My grandmother owns the place!”  
 

That did sort of explain her fine family home on St. Charles and the two Rolls Royce cars in the garage!
 

No, I didn’t end up with her, but that’s another story....
