So it could be an early production car that remained unsold and was renumbered?

Yes, could well be. When I get back from Warren on Sunday I'll take a closer look at the 2252 data and see what can be deduced.

PS - just took a closer look at the underhood shot and saw something I see all too often and that is pretty scary. Take a look at the battery cut-off switch - he didn't put it on the ground post as it should be, and look how close the naked metal switch is to the (grounded) battery hold down bracket. If they ever touch...... it could be "good bye nice car". Why do so many people make this simple mistake?
