JamesR Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Yes, very beautiful! But realistically priced? I'm asking sincerely. I don't know the value of these. Edited May 18, 2023 by JamesR (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumBob Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I've said it before: The seller is on drugs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 If it sells for that I hope he at least made a couple thousand for his trouble. 😧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I think I could get a Duesenberg (model A would be fine!) that I would like a lot better for that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobtube Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Well, you can make an offer(lower than asking). Perhaps that's not paint but gold leaf.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOutThere Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 With all due respect, this car was restored by well known collector Milton Robson for his personal collection which was downsized a few years back and this car was cut. I know this car from the day I bought it as an original, unrestored, California car sitting in long term dry storage. Milt started with a car which I was able to put on jack stands, wipe down the non-undercoated UNDERSIDE of the car with kerosene and then WAX it. It was that nice before major restoration. When it auctioned it brought $50K more than the current advertised price. Granted markets change down and up. The '57 DeSoto Adventurer along with the '57 Chrysler 300C are considered the absolute pinnacle of Virgil Exner's time at Chrysler. Ad states 18 of these currently known to exist and that sounds about right. I would personally guarantee this is the best of those except I haven't seen it in recent years. There appear from postings to be very few AACA people who really know and appreciate post-war MoPar cars. This car was in one of America's premier collections and should go into another. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The best of the best bring very strong premiums. In this case there are very few cars to choose from on top of that. The Robson auction set records that might never be matched, but I'm sure this car will probably sell for a lot more than you would think. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I had no idea! I like to say that's the advantage to ignorance; it gives a tremendous opportunity to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
