Re: IML: Only 200 1959 Silvercrest 4 doors made?



He is probably working on the 10% survival rate if there was 200 produced.  Still I never believe people who quote figures like that because how would they really know whats lurking in peoples sheds and yards.

I have a Silvercrest Landau, which if using the seller's statement as "fact", must mean that I may have one of the only ten or so in existence.  That can't possibly be true, much as I might like it to be so.  The Silvercrest option (and the Landau and Silvercrest Landau options) were probably not common, but conversely about as rare as a "Biarritz" option on an early '80s Eldorado (which also had a stainless steel roof).  They're rare, but not THAT rare.

I don't know for sure if only 200 were produced, but would seriously question weather only 20 still survive. I've probably seen that many & couldn't possibly have seen them all.
     I do know there were NONE produced with an alternator. Wonder weather the generator was just swapped out or the engine?

Is it true that only 200 1959 Silvercrest 4 doors were made and fewer than 20 survive?
