| I heard it didn't make it past the prototype stage |

The intake/air cleaner system may have been available over the counter at some point, but I heard the 400 horse MEL 430 tripower engine never actually made it onto the production line.
It was heavily advertised as a late 1958-1/2 "police option", but I think I read somewhere that the months kept slipping by and it was never actually released for sale on the production line. It was apparently not advertised for 1959. I suspect it may have been available for sale "over the counter", possibly in the early 1959 model year, but that's just guessing based on the logic of what I read. I don't know it was ever available over the parts counter.
I suspect my info source was a Motor Life magazine blurb of the time period.
