Notes:
From Allen Rogler -
When my dad finished restoring the car in 1976, he applied "Ontario Motor Speedway" decals which he had bought back in the early 60's to the inside of the vent windows, because the car originally came from California.  Then everyone began asking him if it originally was one of the Edsels to go around the speedway on display.  He just replied, "No, I just had those decals from when I visited the speedway years ago, and decided to put them on my car".  To this day there are still some that think the car was one of the chosen few.
