Chassis:
The second 'Teardrop' built with the 'New York' style, chassis 90104 was delivered new to prominent orange plantation owner Dr. Fernand Masquefa, who resided both in Algeria and Morocco. He was a great enthusiast and retained the Figoni & Falaschi clothed machine for over forty years, frequently using it in local events. In the early 1980s, he finally sold the car and eventually it was completely restored for its new, Swiss owner. He showed the car at various events in the early 1990s before it was acquired by the current custodian. He had it restored once again and entered it in the 1997 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it won the prestigious 'Best of Show' award. Only rarely shown since, it is seen here during the 2011 Quail, a Motorsports Gathering.
