marinatedcar.com, I'm sad the car is done, but I'm glad I didn't make seeing it the focal point of my trip through Tulsa. I really think the comparison to the Titanic was pretty close. I think our grave digger in Nebraska(corncopia?) had it right on the money as well as the local guy who said the water would be in it. The hoopla factor will be worth a few bucks. At least the next one will be buried properly.

I STILL wanna see it washed. I'm not sure the body panels are that terrible?

Looks like the battery is still hooked up.

I heard lots of rumors of a brand new car being substitutable (is that a word?) for the Belvedere, I wonder if any of the rumors are true? I would be crazy to say it, but I would rather have the 57.

Well new it was a good looking car. Since I was brought home from the hospital in a 58 Savoy and it was the only car we had until 1970 I kind of have a soft spot for them.
Here is my prediction..someone will take it and restore it totally. It will end up on B J one day and the moron in the red cap and Ferrari jacket will bid it up to 1.5 million...at least
Almost joking but as much exposure and history as this car has it would have to be worth a mint restored

hmmmm, why did the back sag like that? The front end seems mostly intact, they just uncovered some chrome on the front bumper and they said it was amazing.
I think this might have something to do with that sag. It appears to be a piece of the leafsprings.
