This copy was imported by the Philipssons themselves via a ship that was unloaded in the port of Gävle. The car was then placed in Philipsson's display window. The specimen is said to be the only one in Europe! The owner has a very charming photo where Philipsson himself and a colleague are standing outside the premises and the car is obviously visible in the background. A total of 700 examples of the model were built and all were sold very quickly, a clear success, simply put! Movie star Clark Gable, also known as "The King of Hollywood", never managed to place an order for one of the 700 produced, and with the help of his star status, Dodge built another example. This copy is number 424. The car has won a total of 12 trophies over the years for the finest car! The current owner has owned the car for 22 years back in time and has enjoyed the car together with his wife at, among other things, several rallies over the years.
