The following cars went to countries other than the US: Chassis138040 (29) to Denmark, 138100 to Australia, 138987 (45) to Australia...all but 138100 were built prior to August 1953.

It would depend on what supplies were available on the shelf, at the time they were built.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">There is a possibility that it was on one of the 4 test cars or AHX17; that they used for record setting.
