The winner is not likely to be the person who made the guess. It will
be the person who guessed the most outrageous number, which will be too
low. That wasn't a highly populated area in 1957 and not expected to
become one.
The winner is also not likely to be an collector or car person, and if
he is, not into Mopars. So, I think money will talk, it will go to the
highest bidder, which is hopefully a museum.
Also, in 1957 this was strictly a 50 year celebration, looking forward
to 100 years of statehood. I bet there aren't 10 people on this list
who knew about it until 2 years or so ago.
It happened a year after I graduated, and I do not remember reading
about it then.
This was thrust upon the committee and for the most part they weren't
car people. The city probably found out about it from all the inquiries
about the car. Yea, many had seen the plaque, but raising the car was
not anything the city had planned for a long time. Everyone on this
list who were there seem to feel that it was well done, a great time
and well worth whatever they spent. And that the city didn't rip them
off anywhere.

Out of curiosity is anyone keeping tabs on who might win her? I pray
they donate her to a museum or sell her to someone who keeps her as-is
if they don't have a proper place to store her. I think we have found
the most significant finned Mopar of our time. This may drive up the
prices and recognition of this cars a lot more.
