I see that our new member Peter Debruyn (peterprod@earthlink.net) owns TC
0252.
I asked him about it and he wrote:

"Yep, TC 0252 is numero uno off the production line (TC 0251 was a prototype
cobbled up from a TB - in 1944 I think.) I bought the car from David Kyle
(Ohio) in 1999. It looks very nice but is not period-correct. It's my latest
lifetime project to restore to originality !"

===I don't know how many of you saw the 35,000 mile TC on eBay recently (it
has now been sold), but the seller has seven more TC's in his inventory. He
recently emailed me:

From: boxweed@thebest.net (Wiedemeyer)
To: fdshade@aol.com

Hi Jim,

I would be interested in advertising on your website. (It looks very
professional.)
I sold the TC I had on eBay privately to a bidder, but I am "culling my herd"
of 7 TCs, and will be selling 3 more of them in the near future.

Regards,
Bob

about these wonderful old cars! - I had already visited your website
earlier today and was very impressed with the organization and abundance of
information on it. I already added to "Favorites" on my browser.
