buried 1957 plymouth belvedere

That is sad, too bad the vault wasn't more waterproof. The car looks like one big rust coloured hulk. :(

I wonder how it got so flooded? It likes like there are water marks on the sides of the walls that are way up near the top. It seems like it would be easy to bury something and make it airtight, even 50 years ago?
 
That's interesting. I wonder if they will ever show us pictures of it without the cover, even though it might not be a pretty sight. Meanwhile, it seems like they are going to take their time.



Man.. If only they had collinite 467 back then, maybe things would be different... lol.

Check out the link I posted in my previous post. It has about 200 shots, including a bunch of closeups.
 
it looks like a fixer upper. a few foam gun washes, some claying (other than the red that is already there lol) and some light swirl polish topped with some souveran and I think we are in business. :)
 
I read in one of the articles that Boyd Coddington is going to restore the car, and then then it will be given to the winner. I guess there won't be much left of the original car, I bet the frame is even rotted out.
 
Yeah, wish I had paid more attention to the dates because I had hoped to make it out for this. This and the national Mustang \ Shelby meet took place over Father's Day weekend and we ended up going out of town.



The car was to be given away to the person or descendants of the person who, in 1957, most closely guessed the population of Tulsa in 2007.



What I find quite troubling is that in 1957, the "typical" contents of a woman's purse included tranquilizers! :)

If woman only still carried tranquilizers, I would get along with my wife (lol)!!!
 
Strokin,



Would that be injected into your wife, or yourself? I imagine that either one would grease the wheels considerably. :)

They should have given it to Foose, a man who far surpasses what Coddington does to cars. I mean, how many ways can you do a roadster? BORING, BORING, BORING. Plus all those nitwits that work at his shop. His name takes him a long way.



I loved how Boyd was so upset when Foose left then got angry because deep down he knew what he just lost!!
 
Cool thing is Foose is going to be here tomorrow for the grand opening of Trinity Restoration, a body shop/restoration shop that is opening a new place here in Tulsa

Much rather see him then Coddington....
