Documents show chassis number 198.040.5500154 was originally delivered in March of 1955 in European specification to Brussels, Belgium. This car is somewhat unusual in that it is equipped with a number of features that were primarily found on the first-year 1954 models, but as the changes were gradual, some 1955 cars were built with earlier features. Most notable for this car are the bolt-on wheel arch “eyebrows” with body color welting, as the later style were welded in place and the seams filled with lead.
