1930 Lasalle Phaeton on ebay... Scam?

Does anyone recognize this one, just appeared on eBay and I am almost certain the pictures were scalped from somewhere on the internet... If it’s not a scam, it sure shows some nerve to have no reserve at the starting price!

Those are my photos of a car I sold perhaps seven or eight years ago to an overseas buyer. You'll note they even cribbed parts of my write-up which includes mention of my 1929 Cadillac. My opinion is that this auction is not legit.

Thank you Matt, I was 99.9% sure that was the case. I have reported it to eBay fraud.

Judging by the feedback, it appears like the “seller” has hacked into a person’s account that enjoys making craft jewelry.

It's not a phaeton, either.

Here is a photo of a 1930 LaSalle phaeton that I bought in January 2019 after chasing it since 1961. The previous owner bought in 1951. It is totally original never having been painted or upholstered.

Nice car Steve! I am envious of your very original automobile. Could you take a few close-up pictures of the windshield pivot points so I can use them as a guide as I rebuild my Roadster project?

Thanks,

Agree that it is a beautiful car and I can see why you chased it for so long. I love the color combination as well as it being original.

Steve, I see the Pebble Beach preservation class in your future.
