 Don't know if anyone's seen this yet. I thought it was pretty cool. The idiot headlined it as a "PONTIAC"  ::) :clueless:

On the Internet, OklaTravelNet.com will Webcast live the car's unearthing about noon Friday, and KOTV.com will have live streaming video of the public unveiling about 7 p.m. Friday. It will also air on KOTV Channel 6 in Tulsa.

I watched a couple of the videos and it dosn't look good for the Plymouth. Hopefully the plastic wrap held up but 3 feet of water must have taken it's toll.

I'm still wondering how it looked inside.

Reminds me of that T/A at Carlisle 2 years ago.

Yeah, that poor car...

DIdn't people of the 50's know about rust ???

I was hoping they'd clean it up a bit for the rest of the weekend. ( I think there is a car show going on the whole weekend). I haven't seen another picture of it since the unwraping that happened Friday night.

Yeah, the one that said it was the T/A for the advertisement long ago. It broke in 2 when it was on the trailer. I think the guy was asking something crazy for it like 50,000 or more. I bet Barry has a pic of it.

Come to think of it, I don't think from the pics so far of the Belvedere are showing that it is so bad of shape. I've seen members working on their cars that make that Belvedere look like it would be a piece of cake to restore.
