The second year of production debuted with thespare tire absent from the inner trunk and mounted as a continentalstyle spare for additional trunk space, along with the exhaust nowexisting through the rear bumper at the corners. Hardtops were nowavailable with optional porthole windows for better visibility whenin use.

Thisexample was built the 14th day of December and delivered new to theNew York sales district. It was later located by the St. Louis CarMuseum in Lakeland, Florida.
