Of the six cars, two of them were scrapped, and three of them were shipped to California where they continued to be used but were eventually destroyed. Then there was the sixth car which was sold to the television shows transportation coordinator, Don Schisler, for a very small amount of money and “considerations” to cover the money still owed to him by Warner Brothers.
