What happened to the open platform car "Independence". I can remember it with the 614 on the coal runs in WV. Anyone have any current photos??

I sold the car in 1988 to FMC Corp. headquartered I believe in Kansas City, Mo. I'm told they did a substantial amount of redecorating and have parked the car for years at their HQ building and use it on rare occassions for entertaining. I too would like to know its current status as I'd be interested if it's available(as has been rumored from time to time)?? Any pictures would be great. Thanks, Ross Rowland
