According to Arnolt's Vessel Lists, this convertible arrived in Chicago on the SS Exton in July, 1952 with prototype coupe 219, and was sold to Wayne VanDyne on 12/1/54, invoice 1787. (For different spellings of name, see entry ). Illustrated on the cover of Motorsport Magazine, April, 1953. The two (possibly three?) prototypes are identifiable by the body crease that kicks up on the rear fender, while production cars kick up 2/3rds of the way down the door.
