For what it's worth, I have to agree with John
Bartell. I have a 59 4 dr Fury parts car "hidden" in my back yard that has
proven invaluable as a parts source for my 59 Ply Sport Fury
--Transmission---radiator----brake line tee----a couple dash knobs-----panel
board separating back seat from trunk----turn signal switch-----fan
pulley----,,,just to mention a few. But one of these days, after taking
everything else off of it, the body will have to go to the local salvage yard
down the road. Body has been in
Wisconsing all it's life so floors and rockers
are rusted out. I hate to see those fins setting in a junk yard so I too am
thinking of what I can do with them. Christmas is coming up so maybe
cutting it in half and have Santa sitting in rear seat being pulled by
a few reindeer. John Z

Why?
I for one have a 59 coupe and
a 4 dr. hdtp. that are not worth restoring, but may be candidates
for something like this. And, I happen to really like the idea of having
a couch/sofa that looks like my favorite car. ( My wife would not let it
in her house, but) Many cars that are going to be crushed may be saved,
at least in part by those inventive enough and talented enough to build one of
these. The guy that does my interior here in WI also makes
these. When I get enough $$$$$$ to have him build one, I will be
put on his list of buyers. Once again...each one of us has
different tastes and personalities. I recall seeing a garage
somewhere, where there were Chevy fronts from the mid fifties through the mid
sixties mounted on the front face of the building. Someday I might
have a 59 Ply nose sticking out of the front of my shop, (hopefully not by
accident) kind of like a trophy deer head...I can stand around
talking smart and telling junk yardin' stories about the hunt to
find the perfect specimen. If all pieces, of all our favorite
cars, are to be used only for restoration, somewhere down the line, our
restorations will look like Johnny Cash's Cadillac!
