Graham says: I can verify that the car in the background is #278 ( saw thetag myself). To the best of my knowledge,both of these cars [he mentions also #330, below] werefound in Georgiaaround2002and brought toCanada. This is the only car of the 1957-58production to have been painted Castile Maroon, a very dark burgundy or oxbloodhue.
