That 55 Deluxe is very likely the least optioned 55 in existence. Only ones I see are an oil filter and heater. No radio, reverse lights, automatic transmission, power brakes or power steering. Mike Dulinksi really needs to pick that one up as the transmission is very rare.

55 Patrician at 1800 is easily 3x the value.

55 Patrician at 2500 looks worthy. It’s hard to guess the true value of without driving it, but if the engine runs and there is some docs on the work I think the 2500 ask is OK. A properly rebuilt engine alone is worth more.

The 56 and 55 combo is odd and a very lazy post. $3500 for a car where I can’t be bothered to rinse it or air up the tires. Really that pair is more like 2500 combined. The Patrician would be a good project or parts car. The deluxe is a bit rough.

In the worst cases, there are some cars like that, which are sitting in an open field, and slowly deteriorating over the years while still being listed for sale as vintage/rare/exclusive or what ever else the people are trying to sell them for. Eventually, they probably end-up in a scrape yard, after someone inherits these "gems"
