Several sources (which may or may not have the same original source) say 520 10th Series Twin Sixes produced. During my research on the thief-proof numbers I came across an interesting observation - during initial data gathering the highest numbered bodies were all Light Eights, but after getting some data from the Bob Bahre collection, now the 905 Dietrichs have the highest known body numbers indicating that those bodies were perhaps the last built. There are 19 32 Twin Sixes listed in my PAC member directory - reasonable to assume there might be another half-dozen or so around, some perhaps just as parts cars.

Only 8 L-29s left? I would have thought Dick Greene himself would have had that many at one time or another. The only one I ever drove was George Jepson's Murphy town car - one of 3 but the only one (with or without,I forget) sidemounts. Though I was young and pretty strong at that time, it was still an absolute BEAST to drive on crowned roads.
