The number on the windshield is the Signature #. You can plainly read off 52, 44, and 51 in this photo. Perhaps that's your car in the back on the left. I might have a chance to stop by there again in the next few days to take a better photo for you. Or maybe the folks at the store would be nice enough to do it. They realize how eager people are to get their cars. I can imagine the excitement, anticipation, and anxiety you must be feeling. I did see some odd seat color combinations, but black and grey sounds reasonable. Dark grey? |

| I think doug is correct. If you click on the photo to look at the original (larger) picture on Flickr, and look at the Radiant Red car windshield (behind the Fusion Red on the upper left) you can clearly see that the number on that windshield ends in "7"... the partially obscured number before it certainly looks like it is a "4" as well, so I bet that is j-g's #47 car. Can't see too much of it except the trunk lid and the windshield, but it is pretty good evidence that it exists! |

I'm sure that's your car. We'll likely have some better pics for you soon.

How cool is that?! To see it in the flesh (almost)! That is very, very cool. |

Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Herndon, VA Posts: 920 | So how many Founder's Series were there again ? The reason I ask is the numbering gets confusing. So have they delivered like 20 of the Sig 100 cars ? Which would explain why the numbers are in the 40's while the delivered are in the 40's as well.... CONFUSED !!!  wouldn't the numbers be in the 30's .... Something sticks in my head there were 24 founder's series cars so that would be about 20 sig 100's delivered so why are the numbers in the plant in the 40's and 50's .... |
