Sorry to say but in my opinion - NO.
I would say a sloper or a phaeton would be a yes but a sedan a no.

To expand on the other fellows answers... Rare? Yes! Holden just didn't produce as many cars as Fisher bodied American cars. Being a pre-war car makes it even more rare considering that recycling drives were in effect to find metal for wartime production.

Desirable? No... For some reason the Holden cars have always been under valued compared to their American cousins. There are often Holden Roadsters up for sale on Ebay, which is odd that they would be for sale more often then the more abundant Fisher bodied examples. And when they do sell, it is for signifigantly less. Maybe we don't want to have RHD, or pay for the conversion to LHD, and destroy the cars originality... or it's just that the Holdens have an odd look to them, because they are proportionatley different from what our eyes are used to seeing. There is money to be made in selling open cars, but to sell a four door sedan in the US, the buyer would pay you less for the car, and not want to pay the cost of shipping it there.

That said... there is always some sucker out there that will prove us wrong and overpay for it!
