Have a silver plaque with engine and chasis numbers for this vehicle which was presented by King Hussein to a major Hunt on Feb 1, 1956 for recognition of service to Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He named the car "Dragonfly". Bought at least 25 years ago at Brimfield Antique show.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
