Received the car directly from Ford for the show-car build under Vince Gardner's direction; retained the car after the Custom Car Caravan tours concluded rather than allowing it to be destroyed.

Film and television actor who acquired the car from DST, possibly to keep it from destruction; used it in Southern California before passing it along.

Robertson's gardener, who received the car from Robertson and subsequently sold it.

Acquired the car shortly after restoration was finished and has kept it in a private collection; the restoration has since been refreshed.

Ford factory touring exhibition that visited Autorama shows and major dealerships; the car was displayed as a show piece rather than competing in a motorsport event.

Display appearance at the 1964–1965 World's Fair as part of a custom-car showcase.

Maruska commissioned a comprehensive restoration of the weathered but essentially complete car: the body was refinished in multiple coats of the correct deep candy apple red, the interior was refurbished in period-correct materials and patterns, all metal trim was restored and engine-turned to as-new condition, and the missing hood lip moulding was faithfully reproduced.

Car was described as complete except for the hood lip moulding at the time restoration commenced.

A new 1962 Thunderbird convertible was comprehensively transformed at DST: a fiberglass fastback roofline was fitted, 1963 Thunderbird front fenders and doors were grafted on, rear fender openings were reshaped, roughly 80 custom trim pieces were added including a Ferrari-style grille and engine-turned metal flanks, and the interior was fully retrimmed in leather throughout, topped with a candy apple red finish.

Work directed by Vince Gardner; roofline design originated at Ford Styling.

The car was refinished in dark blue, replacing the original candy apple red, during Navaro's period of ownership.

Carried out at an unknown point during Navaro's ownership between 1974 and 1989.

The earlier restoration was freshened at an unspecified recent date to maintain the car's presentation.

Carried out during the current owner's tenure following the January 2008 acquisition.
