  Not true!  I remember going into Inskip's in Manhattan in the fifties to
  buy parts and seeing a four seater in the showroom.  I have no idea how
  many were made though.

I actually saw one being restored about 7 years, back when I lived in Boston.
As I dimly recall, the guy who owned the shop said the 4 seaters were
custom-modified by a dealer in NYC, much like you'd do a limo.  The car
looked rather strange: picture a TD, but about 2 feet longer, with a single
long door on each side.  I believe they were extremely rare.

"I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad.  Sometimes I drink it when I'm
alone.  When I have company I consider it obligatory.  I trifle with it if
I'm not hungry and drink it when I am.  Otherwise I never touch it...unless
I'm thirsty"
