Re: [FWDLK] Miss Belvedere News

I don't really care what they do with Miss Belvedere as long as its around, 
in some form, for people to see.  Maybe they should pretty up one half of 
the car and leave the other half as-is...sort of a before and after type 
thing.  That's what I'd like to see...I guess I fit into all three 
aforementioned groups.

I have not yet seen the car in person and would love to see it at some 
point.
