Who is to say they didn't put the #50 plate on it??? But it makes more sense if it is #2 since #1 was for the museum. But.......if I recall correctly, somebody here on this forum was "very proud" and consistenly reminds all that his was #2.

Guess we will have to wait and see what clif has to say in few days.

Yeah, he needs to get back to us to clear things up.

Here's a couple threads that might shed some light:

This link seems to indicate that the one that was on display was #01:

the only choice i had was interior. originally they were to give away number 1 but the contest was open to canada, california and rest of the states, each has different emissions requirements. so they decided build and use number 1 as the test mule and use number 50 as the sweepstakes car. originally it was to be two toned, black and grey. i actually chose stone grey wihich complements the azurro blue.

Looks like I was correct in my assumption that they placed the plate number on the car regardless when it was built. #50 of 50 is still very cool. Espeecially at that price!

Apparently this was the car his key started, and this car is destined to PCA's museum? So apparently there was no swapping out of the nameplates.

I wasn't replying to your post, Brett. ..

I was showing LVDell that there was apparently no swapping of nameplates. That the key he was given started up #1 which is the car set aside for the museum. His actual car #50 just got built and delivered and he'll pick it up after the little ceremony.
