Default Re: Mecum W-30 Ragtops

Thanks fellas for all your help. I was hoping that someone might have known the particular background and history of these three cars especially the red 4spd car. They all look like very nice W-30 rags in various stages of correctness. But without a lot of documentation and history to prove these cars provenance… I would be somewhat leery. I would assume if they were fully documented with bulletproof histories that would be almost the first thing cited in the write up. But none of the three have any mention of documentation. With the Oldsmobile and Chevrolet cars we all realize just how crucial solid paperwork is today. The black car along with the red as you mentioned from the Dave Christenholz collection affords them a higher level of credibility for being authentic. But I am still very skeptical of cars without an ironclad pedigree to prove authenticity in today’s market. But if these cars are fully documented as JOZW30 mentioned… LOOK OUT, but if they are not they will be held back considerably. I hope to attend the auction so it should be very interesting. Thanks again!!! R.M.
