  my son has a 37 humpback sedan i gave him years ago and is thinking about selling it as he bought a new house. it has 34 thousand original miles, all original and won a rouge award at the last dearborn national meet. i dont want him to give it away or sell to someone that will street rod it, any ideas on value? thanks tom

  Tom, photos would be helpful. Putting a value on a car you can't see is very difficult. Rouge cars can vary widely in condition. You could get a Rouge award for the interior, but all four fenders could be "toast".

  Tom: There are probably as many opinions of value as there are members here. To give you a "ballpark" idea, the best guides show the "humpback" touring sedan in a range from $6,850 (#3) to a high of $17,100 for a #1 (perfect) car. With the low miles and your description, I'd venture that $12,000 would be a fair number. The old car market is very soft at present, due to the weak economy. A sedan is at the low end of the pecking order, which begins with the open cars, roadster, phaeton, and cabriolet. These are followed by the convertible sedan, coupe. and club coupe. The low end of the list is the 2dr sedan, the touring sedan, and the plain jane 4 door bring up the rear. The '37 coupe is a great favorite with street rodders, and cn fetch up to $20,000 for a pristine example. In truth, the 'real" value of any car is what a willing buyer is able to offer in cash. Good luck.
