AdamInNH Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 This car has been for sale, at auction and in Hemmings for some time. Price keeps coming down. Photos look decent. Why it hasn’t sold; who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I agree, car looks great. Is it simply a pricing problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin1221 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Why is it listed on Los Angeles Craigslist and the ad states it is in Plant City FL (outside of Tampa). I also agree that the car looks good. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Probably trying to broaden his market if it's been for sale for a long time like Adam says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrudy Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Great looking car. This is my favorite car of the pre war period. I have seen this car in a dark brown and it was beautiful, but I like this color better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Looks like CCCA now accepts all Cadillacs through 47, wonder if that will drive prices up or not? Nice looking car either way, but seems to be all the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this two-tone green one that sold last Fall at the Worldwide Dallas auction for $60,500 all-in. +THAT+ was all the money+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently this very car sold for $31,900 at RM-Sotheby's 2021 Hershey auction. When all those car fans assembled at the auction bid UP TO $31,900--and others bid less--that pretty clearly says the car may not be worth $38,500.

But there is a cottage industry of dealers who purchase cars at well known auctions and seem to turn a profit. ( though some of their cars sit for years and years). It surprises me, as I would think most people in the hobby are aware of the major car auctions and would just bid the car past the dealer. As opposed to paying the dealers profit at a later date. I am not anti-dealer, I just don’t understand paying more for something that was publicly available in the last month or year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullrun Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 There were some really good deals at last years Hershey Auction. Crowds were down with Covid and so were the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I assume that this is modern paint (base coat/clear coat), although I might be wrong. Is everybody OK with that, or does it get dinged for not being original? Of course, it's beautiful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts: There really is no "wholesale" or "retail" in the old-car hobby. There is no manufacturer producing antique cars and putting them out through wholesalers or distributors, eventually getting them to caring owners. Instead, anyone--an individual or a dealer--has access to the whole market. There are grossly overpriced cars, and some relative bargains, but these are not retail and wholesale.
