The one car that did was Ferrari 375 Indianapolis #1 - which was rebuilt as #0388 - and attempted to qualify for Indy in 1954. I can find no reference of it running as #91 but its history is vague.

Speculation based upon position of fuel filler cap, but amongst all the other speculation to be found upon this database, who would notice? https://petrolicious.com/articles/lancia-d50 -- Last edit: 2020-06-11 12:01:21
chammo ◊ 2020-07-08 22:53	Nzcarnerd is right, it is the 375 MI (Monoposto Indianapolis) 0388. Shel raced it at Mount Washington, Giant's Despair and Breakneck 1956.
