Note #1:

The 1953 Paris Salon show car was 0293EU, not 0301AL.

Note #2:

According to reader Valentino Plaza from San Diego, 0301AL was NOT owned by Sal de la Torre but owned from 1964 to 1989 by his aunt Kathy Goodknight Petterson instead. This is what he reported to us:

"She was the sole owner of this car please correct your mistake, and her husband bought this car from Steve McQueen himself in a poker game at his house so please fix this major error on behalf of my aunt Kathy. Thanks Valentino Plaza San Diego Ca"
