The car underwent a concours restoration by RM Auto Restoration with the goal of absolute authenticity to the car’s original specifications. Chassis number 5207 was graciously loaned to RM Auto Restoration by its owner, Tom Cotter, which allowed the numerous original details of this car to be restored as faithfully as possible. Correct bumpers were remanufactured by RM to the original designs, using Cotter’s car as a pattern. The original color scheme was recreated to match the Lyons photograph, and most interestingly, the faces of the original instrumentation match the body color as they did originally. Even new glass was made to the original design and fitted in all the windows.
