Although the cars assembled at the Moon plant represent the majority of all Ruxtons built, only 55 cars were completed before the company filed for bankruptcy. Ten more cars were assembled after bankruptcy.
This car (chassis number 10C104) is the last car built at Moon while the company was still viable (the bankruptcy-assembled cars are likely units 10C105 through 10C114). This car was purchased new by a real estate agent from Pittsburgh who was so smitten that he purchased two new Ruxtons on the same day (10C90 is the second) and retained both for 20 years. Upon selling the pair to separate owners in 1952, this car found its way into the long-term care of Ruxton enthusiast Henry Martin from Louisiana. Thereafter, it found new ownership in Chicago, and then joint ownership under Tim Whited and restorer Gil Cole, both from Colorado, who treated the car to a full frame-off restoration, completing it with the more sedate version of the two paint schemes commissioned from Joseph Urban for use on Ruxton sedans. It is the sole surviving car displaying this Urban paint scheme.
