Unless a car is ultra-rare in its own right, e.g., a Bugatti, the price depends almost entirely on the perceived quality of the restoration. A 1958 Edsel Corsair convertible went for $22000 (24000 with the buyer's commission), while a 1955 Buick 4dr went for $40000 ($44000 with buyer's commission). Other than the 300C and a 300K hardtop, I have not seen any other letter cars in this years auction.
