I believe the failed springs are the
result of a "car full" of water , as the tomb flooded and then ebbed the
car remained full of water (for a time anyway before it to ebbed )and that load
of water weight caused the suspension failure, and as it looks this process was
repeated a few times....
a trunk or the whole car for that
mater is a thousand fold more weight then the car was ever meant to
hold....
For what it is worth I think the car
is in rather good condition in terms of the past 50 years of terrible storage
conditions....(not a real need to beat a dead horse on the mis-management, or
lack of a "Forward Look" attitude in terms of real long term storage
here!)
The hard parts on her are in a much
better state then ALLOT of the parts of that vintage sold every day on
eBay....
It would be very pleasing to me to
see her cleaned and all of the rotted soft goods removed, to get a true look at
her status, bet she is not be as bad as it has been
reported.
Anyone know what her color codes are?
Is she "ginger and sand white?" I
have never seen a real color photo, and what did the seats look like and what
are her options?

Subject: [FWDLK] Snapped Springs
I have handled MANY FL cars in
30+ years and NEVER seen the springs broken like that ! A broken leaf
here or there, but nothing that left the car dragging like that with both
sides. I am suspicious it incurred some sort of trauma, but this was
supposed to be a brand new car when interred. Interesting.
