 The original intent for the commercial was to have Malcolm Forbes lend the Fabergé Coronation egg; however, curator Margaret Kelly suggested that the car company contact Whiteside to use one of his eggs in order to avoid the expensive insurance and security that would have been necessary to obtain the Fabergé Coronation egg.In 1992, Whiteside purchased the old Johnson farm house, which was located on the western outskirts of Mount Vernon, Texas, and moved it to a estate located off FM 21, near Hopewell in south-central Franklin County in the Piney Woods of East Texas.In 1995, Whiteside moved his Dallas studio on Inwood Road and Lovers Lane to a shop he built on the Veranda property.
