James,

I am STILL not clear about a fourth car.....all STORIES have said that it
was decided at the factory in Ireland to use the one spare set of gold
panels on the last car and they claim this was done.......so the question, I
guess, is were there TWO spare sets of gold plated panels then? I have
never heard that one before. Also had never heard that a fourth gold
plated D was assembled in the States at some point later? At one point one
of those was offered for sale and I called the gentleman....he told me he
had thought to use the car for a more or less traveling display and charge
for looking at it, but the insurance was astronomical and he decided against
it. He didn't say anything about it being the 3rd car or the 4h car. I
assumed it was the 3rd car as nothing had ever been said about a 4th car at
that point. I spent a day talking to my wife about it and got her
permissionto buy it, called back and the car was sold! I wont lose any
sleep over this, but am still the curious type after 82 years!
