Jim,
 
Is it possible that it was at the Wings and Wheels Museum, in South  
Carolina?  Korean War ace Dolph Overton bought the plane at the Tallmantz  
Auction 
in 1968 for $20,500.   He transferred ownership to the  National Air & 
Space Museum in 2005.  It's currently on display at the  Udvar-Hazy Center 
at 
Dulles Airport.
 
Best Regards,
