I was wondering if anyone has pics or info an any 54-56 Beau Mondes? Bernie DeWinter had determined that less than 20 were built from 54-56. I know of 3 that exist today, all 56's. There is the nice one still in service in Colombia, The Blue combo that was on ebay a couple of years ago that I am told went to Australia eventually, and my 56 Combo. Mine was originally delivered to a funeral home in Greencastle, IN and appears to have been Black with a white top and a turquoise and silver interior. I am told there was a 56 spotted in a salvage yard in CO many years ago as well. Mine is rough but all there and hopefully will be a nice companion to my 1956 Fleetwood 75 by Derham when completed.

Jim, nice to see you on here. I had heard through the grapevine that you were contemplating selling. A Beau Monde is one of just two coaches remaining on my wish list... 
The one you mentioned that went to Australia belonged to Dwayne Velasquez in CO. He had purchased it about a year earlier (NC or SC, can't recall now) and never found reasonable shipping for one reason or another. Ultimately he decided it was not a coach that he was going to restore and put it on eBay. It sold for very little if I recall.
I do know of another Beau Monde that exists not on your list - a '54.

I used to wish I would find a Beau Monde myself, but I have come to realize that will probably never happen.
Tell me more about the 54 please. As far as I know only 1 54 was made and it was reported to be in a barn in Ohio in the 70s or 80s
