GRAND PRIX UN_NUMBERED

General Information: The Grand Prix Un-numbered is identical to the standard production Grand Prix #2, except that there is nothing etched in three places on the car, rather than the standard number "2". It appears at the moment there was a small production run of un-numbered cars, although no one knows the exact number.

Thanks to fellow collector Steve O'Steen we now have some history on the un-numbered Grand Prix. It turns out that Noel Theobald, of N. Theobald stores in Indianapolis, started giving away Grand Prix cars to the winners of the Indy 500. Noel, who was known as "The King of Crystal", apparently placed a special order with Daum for un-numbered Grand Prix cars. Being un-numbered, the cars were appropriate for any and all Indy 500 winners. The Daum cars were presented up to several years after the actual race. Per the Indianapolis Monthly Magazine in 1995, the last known un-numbered car had just been presented to Rick Mears who won the Indy 500 in 1991. It is also believed that some number of Un-numbered Prix cars were sold direct to the public through the N. Theobald stores. Noel Theobald passed away in 2003.

There may only be a few un-numbered cars in existance. In fact at the moment we only know of somewhere under ten un-numbered cars in existance. While some collectors might consider this a variation of the number "2" car, I consider this car to be a unique car in its own right and hence an additional collectible car that a true collector should stirve to obtain.
