Folks, please, it's not the holy grail !!!
It's just a poor production car which ended up in the hands of a bunch of
1950's hucksters and then in the hands of their kids/grandkids/nephews/TV
stars/local yokels/wannabes.
I don't care what they say about it, just spell "Tulsa" right... and
often...
The debacle started 50 years ago.

Subject: [FWDLK] Buried Belvedere Debacle Begins...
http://www.tulsaworld.com/webextra/content/2007/buriedcarunearthed/articles.aspx?articleID=071102_238_A1_hUnea05642
1. Car leaves Tulsa with great expectations that it'll be brought back to
its former glory
2. Few pics on the Ultra-One website of the Process beginning, then
nothing.
3. Word comes that the Process is taking a bit longer than expected.
4. Article appears in a 'paper of record' that car far worse than expected
(true or not true--it doesn't matter) and lots more money is needed to
bring
the car back (Who's paying for this anyway ???)
5. Lots of finger-pointing, charges, threats of lawsuits, etc.
6. Ultra-One decides that they want nothing further to do with this. Leave
car outside where is deteriorates.
7. Car is parted out and pieces are sold on ebay. 'Own a piece of
history',
etc.
8. The sorry end to a car that brought so many people together.
