1954 Caribbean in Polaris Blue. I had posted this car earlier under another thread not realizing it was from the C. Louis Ablelove collection. It has just been relisted on Facebook Marketplace with a price drop. Original asking price was $12,500; seller has now dropped it to $10,500. Car was Lot No. 191. Hammer price at the auction in November 2021 was $3,250 and the top bidder was antnucci. As I noted earlier, this person purchased a total of 35 vehicles at the Phase 1 auction and another four vehicles at the Phase 2 auction in April of last year. Eight of his purchases were Caribbeans. This person now has several former auction cars listed for sale on Facebook, including 1953 and 1956 Caribbeans, a '48 Super Eight Convertible Victoria and a 1940 110 Coupe. Here is a link to the current Facebook ad for the '54. It appears to have been one of the nicer Caribbeans in the collection, but it will still require a full restoration:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1090495121919765/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

Here is a picture of the car from the auction catalog.

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!
