He rescued it from the dumpster at the convention center in Tulsa on the day of the unveiling and brought it all the way home with him to New Zealand in the back of a New Yorker. He offered it to the museum last week, for free, and they were not interested. Crazy! A priceless piece of automotive history that should be a part of the car's display, going unwanted. Glenn. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1084 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Auckland, New Zealand. | He sent about 20 photos by email and said he would deliver it in person. Maybe he didn't speak with the right person, sometimes it's a case of a little inside knowledge to know who that would be. if anybody knows who that would be at the museum, let me know. The car and the cover need to be reunited. Glenn. | ||

Could've made a fortune! ![]() I have a chip of that concrete and some of the rust off of Miss Belvedere. I also have a piece of the glass that the Coddington crew broke to get into the car. Neil grabbed a bunch and gave pieces out that night. No one else in the world would have cared that day. Edited by 57plymouth 2017-08-28 10:27 AM | ||
