Does it make sense that PRCo oredered 100 cars only several days after the 
arrival of the DEMONSTRATOR??? Wasn't the purport of the date (1936.04.06) 
different? It looks that the construction of this car started far before 
this date.
Do photos of 100 when new/fresh/clean/dent free suggest hot summer or early 
spring?
