Chassis no. 5430114. Black over tan. 221-cid, 85hp V-8, 3-speed, hubcaps, trim rings, whitewalls, fog lights, rumble seat, banjo spoke steering wheel, clock, radio.

Evaluation: Very good older paint, chrome, and interior. Good gauges and dashboard. The chassis is fully restored and shows light evidence of some road miles. The engine compartment is accurately presented in nearly showroom condition aside from some cobwebs. There are age- and use-related flaws but none are particularly significant. This is a classy and usable weekend cruiser.

Bottom Line: The bidding was stalled at the final result with over two hours left until the scheduled close, and stayed there, a sign no one was interested. That’s unfortunate because it is a handsome, practical, and desirable Ford. The seller wisely preferred to keep the car over this paltry bid.
