Chassis:
Among the most original 'Teardrops' in existence today, chassis 90105 was famously owned by Los Angeles playboy Tommy Lee. Between 1940 and 1950 he raced the car through the streets of LA and on the dry lakebeds. After his death, this 'Goutte d'Eau' changed hands several times and every time found a careful custodian. During this time it was carefully maintained but never restored. The only modification was a full repaint in 1979.
In 2005 it was offered by Christie's in their Monterey Jet Center Auction. It changed hands for an impressive $3,535,000. Two years later it appeared at the Quail, a Motorsports Gathering.
