Thanks for all of the advice and help so far. The last photo I posted was borrowed from an article that was done on the car and was in fact reversed.
I was able to take some more photos and get additional info today. Unfortunately we were having a bit of a sandstorm and had to photograph what I could inside of the garage.
The present owner supposedly bought the car from an auction house in the UK approximately 8 years ago. I don't think he has ever driven it and most likely not seen it in several years.
It looks to me like the car was likely repainted on the frame shortly before the current owner bought it. There is overspray on the frame and springs. I would rate the paint and interior at a 6 or 7. The chrome looks about the same condition. The leather of the seats and the top are in as new condition.
The underside of the car looks like it could have been restored at some time but a long time ago. I was able to take a few shots while lying down in front of the car. The metal sheathing around the springs is rusted through on the bottom corners. I didn't see any other rust underneath. If I get the chance we will try to get it on a lift Sunday.
The engine compartment and engine look like they could have gone through a restoration possibly when the car was last painted.
There is a very interesting glass hood ornament that lights up blue. I haven't seen it in any photos of other cars but the wiring to it looks like it could be original.
The number on the plate on the firewall is 559 986 and says delivered 10 32.
The engine number is 36I793
My overall impression is that the car is a very nice looking driver. Here are the photos I was able to take today. Thanks again for everyones help in trying to establish a possible value for me.
