I'm guessing Boyd was invited because someone knew his name.

I'm having trouble with the video on my dial-up connection, but headlines like "Buried Belvedere's crypt full of water" aren't exactly encouraging.

One story I read said Boyd was supposedly going to try to start the car at the official unveiling tonight. Unless he and his crew are planning to rebuild the engine and electrical system before 7PM tonight, I don't think that's very likely.
