Duffy's Reserve amount was not met, so I don't know what they were
asking 'for'
the car.
I agree that Duffy's would be one of the most respected commercial
dealers; I just thought that relatively
very little information was provided by Duffy's, regarding the car and
its history, including the not-small-matter
of disclosing/acknowledging that the car has manual brakes and steering.
The absolute value of the car resides in its mechanical and physical
condition in relation and comparison
to its selling price, and I don't think that we know what Duffy's
(marked-up, obviously)
selling Reserve on the car may have been.
I would think that Duffy's Reserve would be around $12K- 15K (depending
upon what they paid
for the car, or their selling commission, if the car is being sold on
consignment).

I agree. Though I have a natural bias against dealers, Duffy's seems
like one of the better ones for sure, and their Ebay feedback seems to
support that. (We live in Iowa and have been there a few times for
fun.) And though Neil makes a good point about a car's driving
condition, I've also come to learn that cosmetics--especially things
like interior/dash/chrome, etc.--are much more costly to restore than
mechanical items. It does look like a sharp car!

I bought my '55 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Newport from Duffy's in
1996. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend them, and
would gladly buy from them again. My car was exactly as they
described it (maybe even better) and was priced very fairly. I
purchased my car sight-unseen and when it arrived, I liked it even
better than I had hoped for. It still looks and runs great and
I'm still loving it to this day. Duffy's was honest and reliable
to deal with, and is a "class act" (if things are still as they
were in 1996).
That Dodge looks nice and the price seems right.

Well, the 'highly-acclaimed' Duffy's doesn't seem to have
confirmed that
this car has manual brakes
and manual steering, or declare any-much about this "older

I would prefer to buy a car from a long-time private owner;
they tend to
be honorable and have
a personal interest in their car going to a good new-owner.
At the least, they should be able to discuss and document the
upkeep and
maintenance of their car,
because its primary consideration should be in its driving
condition,
rather than how pretty its
paintwork might be.
