Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1924 Chrysler Model B-70 Roadster from the Martin Swig Collection is a historically significant vehicle, being the first year of Chrysler production and the first American car to compete at Le Mans. While described as a well-maintained, substantially original example, it requires servicing, particularly to the brakes, and has had some cosmetic refurbishment.
Condition
6
While the car is described as well-maintained and substantially original, the listing mentions the brakes are not currently working, and a careful servicing is advisable before touring. The car has been repainted and the seat reupholstered. The body was in excellent condition when acquired in 1998 and has been left untouched. Overall, this indicates some refurbishment has been done but further mechanical work is needed.
