Thread: Buried 57 Plymouth

Tweet

I think they should have hosed it down and left it like it was enclosed it in glass to show how stupid they were in the first place.

I've been dragging around a 39 Ford for 40 years, it's been inside, outside time hasn't been good to it but not as bad as the 57 Plymouth.

Maybe next time someone will try to preserve one above ground.

I have the same opinion. It should have been put into a collection as is. It wasn't a valuable enough car to completely "remanufacture" it.

I have a reputation as being a caretaker for lost causes.....but I would crush that one. The novelty of being the f'd up car from Tulsa has been destroyed.

I agree that the Plymouth should not have been touched at all, it should be preserved exactly as it came out of the vault. It is what it is, and personally I would pay to see it exactly in that condition. If I owned it I would have a glass sided enclosed trailer built and tour car shows around the country and charge $5 to see it. I bet people would line up just out of curiosity, if nothing else.

Too late now though, they have already destroyed what it was IMO.
