GarageScout Take

The 1948 cabriolet combines the 292ci flathead V12 with a column-shift three-speed and overdrive, a configuration from a 452-car model-year run, and the 1995 refurbishment covered both the maroon finish and tan cabin.

Strengths

  • Limited 1948 production of 452 examples, with the 292ci flathead V12 identified as the last V12 offered by an American manufacturer.
  • 1995 refurbishment covered both the exterior finish and the interior.
  • Engine rebuild, 2023 carburetor replacement, and 2025 fuel-system work are described in the listing.
  • Included build sheet, service manuals, manufacturer’s brochure, and clean Texas title.

Watch For

  • Total mileage is unknown despite the five-digit odometer showing 15,000 miles.
  • A dent is noted behind the rear bumper, along with paint chips and pitting on the grille chrome.
  • The engine rebuild and transmission refurbishment are described as seller-reported in the listing.
