Tom, quick response! Could you send me the thief-proof number (the large embossed number on the cowl near the heater box)? There was a 51 convertible on eBay a while back, 2469-2001 (the 1st made) though I don't recall if it was roadworthy or a total wreck or something in between.
I got fooled by the upper corner on the windshield. In the closed cars only the 53 and 54 have sharp corners, the 51 and 52 are rounded, or at least I thought. Never looked closely but maybe the open cars are different?
Yes, I'd love some ss Rotterdam pictures when convenient. Here's a picture of it's last departure from Ft. Lauderdale FL under HAL ownership. And the steam turbine control panel from the days when passengers could still tour "the works". And my apologies to others for digressing into another of my interests.
