I live in Plattsburgh and tried contacting this guy more than once with no luck. I will try again to give who ever might be interested the real deal on this.We get so much snow and salt I can't believe there is much there.

I have only been involved in forward look cars since I bought my first 57 Fireflite in 1989. I have to say this is the worst car I have personally seen. The dirt from large animals, I presume to be woodchucks, is up to the armrests inside. There is no floor, no VIN plate and the car body is bent so bad the door won't meet the door jam. The good news. If anyone can use a 57 chromable bumper or stainless or glass it is complete. The drivetrain is still there and so are the taillight towers although badly pitted and most of the lenses are broken. This car is not leaving this location in one piece. If anybody needs any Firesweep parts please call the guy because he will crush it soon.

Bob I recall seeing what may have been this car in Essex in a house driveway just S of the Essex-Charlotte Ferry dock as you leave town going S, I think around 1990, I wonder if it was this one. Been a long time and can't quite remember the model or color exactly. I know there was a '57 or '58 at Rustic Auto in Peru a few years back too, I think a'57, maybe green?
