It's in the CPF museum.   Restored.   Displayed.   Shows up at 
National Conventions.   Many photos available from various sources (I 
have my own).

I remember the car when it was still ragged and ugly before 
restoration.    Sometimes I think it commanded more respect and 
displayed more character as a war weary veteran showing its age... 
rather than the mint condition shape it's in now.   ;)
