I believe they sent 10 cars or so[coupe and convertible of all engine types] to the chicago Auto show that year. The 1 and 2 car appear to have some very odd option combinations as well. Cruise,tilt,hood tach,power windows,4 speed,discs,fold down ,among others. I believe alot of the fully "loaded" cars [actually the 1 and 2 combined do have alot of comfort/visible options with one exception being AC ]were the ones that were saved in house and not for display , to be option/other tested and ultimately destroyed as the couldnt be returned to service. Made financial sense to work and test on a single car that had all the options. Im also guessing that they wouldnt have built a car for display that wasnt available in that configuration to the public [IE a 6 cyl 4 speed, among others. Also think about it,as far as display and advertising goes, a loaded 400 4 speed w hood tach wouldnt have the appeal to potential female[PLEASE no hate mail!!!] buyers as a red /red column auto convertible. Seems to me #1 was made to be displayed with a certain group in mind ,and the #2 HO 4 speed for another . I think its not a coincidence that #1 and #2 were built as contrasting as they were.
