I know the poor girl. Its it sad about the way Miss Belvedere was mis treated like I said if they would of put her in above ground vault she would not be in this condition. If they decide to restore her I would donate funds to help on it.I'm sure alot of folks would . This is 1 thing I'd like to say to Tulsa Y'all destroyed ab beautiful car and here she is crying her headlight out .This poor girl was mistreated alot of us'57 -'61 plymouth fans are very upset about it. Even though I do not have another'57 0r '58 plymouth yet(still hunting) I am very angry about Miss Belveder's condition.

with much more than what is left of "Miss Belvedere.
Yes she could be restored but the cost would be out of
sight, and with so many parts from donor cars that she
would not be "Miss Belvedere" but a car of many
donated parts. I feel it's best to leave her alone as
a complete car, even being what she is now. What a
shame for such a beautiful car to have been so
mistreated.
