So, while most don't know,... and in fact... be surprised if any here know... but lets just see if any here know how rare this car is and why....

Oh, and thanks again Paul for making this happen...

I know they went wrap around rear glass in '54 but thought only the 210 and 150's had the straight glass on the biz coupes.
I know there are some other models--but they just get wrapped up in the biz coupe class.
