If you click on the link I posted:
After Arizona-based collector car dealer Leo Gephart bought the Ford in 2008 or 2009, he had Scottsdale restorer Lon Kruger perform a full body-off restoration that included a full 1,000-hour polish, rendering the body mirror-clear, unlike the raw finish the rest of the Allegheny Ludlum stainless-steel cars exhibit. The finished car then took a bevy of awards in 2009 before Gephart turned down a $550,000 top bid for it at the Mecum Monterey auction in 2010.
