N100002,  “The Skip Hudson Road Test Car”, was delivered on May 23, 1966 from Fisher Body as coach #DD02D.  Like all F-Body Pilot Prototypes at Norwood, it started its hand built assembly in consecutive VIN number order as the second build of the engineering study.  One of one on Fleet and Special Order # 5A-23 made by Engineering Body of Design, it carried model # 12667.  This blue on blue convertible was the first Camaro convertible ever built.  With a 327 cubic inch power plant and a power-glide automatic transmission, its presence in the final stages of the General Motors Jam Handy Video make it the most historically significant convertible that was ever built.  It was required to be received by C. Caswell at the General Motors Proving Grounds on or around June 7, 1966 for testing, but was shipped six days late.  NCRS certificates show #2 being returned to corporate, Zone 0 and it is thought to have been used as a company promotional vehicle shortly thereafter. Extensive and exhaustive history searches have gleaned no documented ownership history.  Current whereabouts and existence is unknown as of 3-1-2015.
