"only 50 can [to] be painted that way"

In my opinion and from talking to Gene it took Ed Cunningham several years to lobby the brass that they should bring some snappier color combos and updated interiors to the market. So while 50 may have been approved only 5 were done this way. And if Earle C. Anthony had not been in Detroit for Ed's initial presentation about the color scheme and his commitment to purchase 5 vehicles, then there may have been only one painted in "R" code.

BTW, Owen, that photo in your example is our car - check the number on the black CA license plate.
