hello,

I was wondering how many 1850 purple demonstrators were built. My daughter likes the color purple and it would be nice to find one for her to drive. I also thought if I found a rough green 1850 I could paint it the correct color of purple.  I would make sure that people knew is was a replica and not an original purple 1850.

I bought a 1/16 scale model of the purple Oliver 1850 demonstrator at the National Farm Machinery Show on Friday.  The box said there was 150 of the models built. Was there more than 150 full size purple 1850's?

Thanks in advance for your replys and input.
