 It is believed that the car was shown at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 1954 before being exported to Chrysler chairman K.T. Keller, and subsequently sold to the first private owner, Lou Fageol. Mr. Fageol was notable in hydroplane racing as a three-time Gold Cup winner, and also owned an Indy racing team during the late 1940s. His family-owned Twin Coach bus company ideally facilitated production of the signature twin-engine racecars for which he became known, including a Porsche 356 and the double-Offy champ car he campaigned at Indianapolis. | |
