Welcome, I presume you have either John's car or Toms car. If your car has been repainted red then you have John's car. That car is the only one of the three known Rose Bowl cars to have an intact build sheet. Here is the problem, John lost the build sheet. The bottom of his sheet said "Rose Bowl" on it and is the only known official document to verify the pedigree.

Please post some photos

How did you get Dave's car and what are you doing to it ! LOL

My thought exactly!

OK... Now you have just floored me......... I NEED to see that tag... The fender tag that is. The fender tag is located next to the battery on the radiator core support. Your car looks to be FK5 paint code which is Burnt orange in color... The Rose Bowl cars didnt come with Super lites and were all white, with black interiors and white tops.
That is the way the Tournament of Roses people wanted all of their cars of which Chrysler was a sponsor for many years..The Chryslers, Furys, Polaras, Barracudas, all white bodies with black interiors and white tops.
Your car probably has a Q to start the Vehicle Order Number which indicates a public relations car... Looks like she is loaded up with options, please, lets see that tag....Before I have to go to bed

Not a Rose Bowl car, probably. Unless a lot of work was done to it. Obviously the color which is an easy change and the car may have been repainted, I see a lot of touch ups around the engine bay. It is not an air car which all the Rose Bowl cars were. The Superlite was not on the Rose Bowl cars, of course it could have been added.

Yeah Bob, this one may be a new find.

Super lite, Stan's favorite option! I still want one, though, probably just because it's different.

If you recall he was loaded and that was a hundred and forty three years ago...... they are cool as hell.....just like headers....!!!
