As of Dec. 23, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #47 Was owned at one time by a Mr. Paulson, aswell as by a friend of mine in Ohio. It is now [Nov., 2004] in Australia. This one was no tpreviously included in the roster of survivors. I got this piece of news from Aussie enthusiast, Greg Short who said (in August 2004): Michael (the owner) wasn't sure whether it was number 46 or 47. The Database says that #46 was restored to' driver' status a few years ago, after moving from Kentucky to Canada andback to California. I don't think that this one is number 46 as I'm sure it's afairly original car thatneeds a total resto. Michael says that it is from Arizona. Anyway, it should arrive in 5-6 weeks and I will certainly check it out when it gets here and verify its body number. Late Extra [November, 2004]: Greg got back in touch to confirm thatthe car is #47. Imported by a Melbourne dealer, it was sold on the day it arrived down under. Greg said: Yes, it is1959 No. 47 and was apparently driven into a garage somewhere in the States in 1986 [my friend in Ohio ?] and parked, until now. Apparently, it is a complete, unmolested car that requires cosmetic restoration. I don't have any other information at the moment,but will keep in contact as one of the '60 Broughams from this collection has also been sold and will soon be going to a new home. Late late extra [10/2005]: the car was offered up for sale at auction, on EBay. The starting bid was set at AU$20K. Bidding ended at AU$20.1K; it did not meet the reserve!
