Re: [FWDLK] "Belvedere brouhaha"

She is also just a "HUNK OF RUST" with 8 miles on her. It isn't the fact that she's a rusty old Plymouth,it's what the car represents that a lot of people aren't getting. If it was a '57 Chevy,a '56 Crown VIc,a Camaro or some other "me too" car it would mean nothing to the Mopar crowd and probably wouldn't be as interesting to the rest of the world. Here is a finned Plymouth in whatever condition it's in that got worldwide recognition,other than Christine when the hell has that ever happen? In 1957 Wally Parks in Suddenly didn't get this much publicity . Possibly now some of us can go cruising and not hear "Look at that '57 Chevy" even though our cars say "Plymouth" or "Fury" on them. I hope Ron isn't right and people try to let their cars rust to imitate this one, if anything I hope it inspires more people to realize there were more than just T-Birds,Corvettes,and '57 Chevys made in the '50's,and that these were better looking cars. Honestly if the winner wants her restored I don't think it's an outrageous idea,I'd be against it personally,but I have seen Jimmy Rawa start with less and build an absolutely beautiful car. Think about it,someday you're out cruising in a '57 Plymouth and some kid actually knows what it is,that in itself is worth it.
