AdamInNH Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 These are terrific tour cars - I had one, body number 28, some years ago. The interior in this one is nice, although the clock on back of the front seat is missing. The top isn’t the greatest and there are lots of details that would be expensive to remedy. The undercarriage looks a bit suspicious to me, as if some of it has been undercoated. The hood fitment is funky. The dash paint is not so hot. Honestly, I don’t think the price is crazy out of line considering condition, a #3, from what I see. The realistic number, IMO, is $40’s, to perhaps $50K, tops. The two most recent sales of these, one that belonged to a friend, and his was definitely a way better car, sold for $98K. My old one sold maybe three years back, at auction, for around the same money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60s GM Fan Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I mean I'd heavily consider parting ways with my 55 for a rare bird like this. My friend Harry in the CLC back east had a dark green one. My only issue is it's black. AZ plus possible chips etc make this sorta meh for me....but shes a beautiful automobile!

Yes, this one is very similar to my '37 Roadmaster convertible sedan which drives like a dream- but then, so does my 1954 Cadillac convertible -- so, as I smile at the '41 Caddy convertible and the '30 Packard Touring, both of which evoke miles of smiles- how do I choose which to drive ???? Eeny, Meeny, Meiney, Moe ..... or, as an Econ 202 Professor once told us - you don't have to make the choice of either beer or pretzels, find an affordable, economically viable mix- Enjoy, and celebrate variety 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
