[FWDLK] Plane Freed From a Glacier Sets Out for Britain Again - The Lede - Breaking News - New York Times Blog



    I was reading the posts on this page where a P38 buried and recovered from a glacier is being compared to Miss Belvedere, which one of them called a 57 Chevy, this person set the record straight and said something I haven't heard before and don't know if there is any truth to it but here it is.

The car in Tulsa was a ?57 Plymouth Belvedere, not a Chevy, and was not the rust ?blob? everyone is making it out to be. The bumpers and trim would clean up ?as new? and you could still see the signatures of the Tulsarama ?57 members on the whitewall tires. The car still has its protective coating on it, so no one knows what it truly looks like.

The reason it was rusted is because the vault was compromised approximately 25 years ago during some construction work by the city. The decision was made at the time to NOT repair the cement vault and take their chances. Unfortunately the damage allowed water inside??..
