Hi BDC

Thanks for the pictures, look like nice examples. The '35 Eight formal sedan has to be quite rare. The Eight was intended as an owner-driven luxury car. One surmises a chauffeur-driven Eight formal sedan might have been purchased to replace the old open-front town car, still appropriate for formal duties but less conspicuous in the mid'30's social climate.

Auction companies in general have no idea about old cars, how to identify or promote them. This represents an opportunity for those looking to buy a good car for a reasonable price.
