Paul, please be aware that the Lockheed L1649A is not called a Constellation but a Starliner.
Lufthansa plan to make at least one aircarft airworthy from the survivors at Lewiston,Maine and Polk City,Florida. There are enough parts, however, to make two aircraft airworthy.

TWA called their L1649s 'Jetstream Starliners' to suggest the speed gains possible from flying in the upper atmosphere's jetstream (and perhaps to hint at jet attributes , remember, the 707 was only a year from service).TWA may have had copyright on 'Starliner', it had been the name for their house magazine......'Super Star Constellation' was another Lockheed name for the L1649....M West

Slight backtracking!!....Lockheed did use the phrase 'Lockheed Starliner' in their ads about 1957.....TWA called theirs 'JETSTREAM Starliner', Lufthansa 'Super*Star', and Air France 'Super Starliner'..... you can check these out in US ebay ads.... but as its definitely of the Constellation family , we're all correct.....M West
