BOYD CODDINGTON UNVEILING TULSA'S 1957 BELVEDERE Part 2

[cam1234567891640]

it is restorabl or well I could

[fiddlerpin]

They might as well just crushed it before they put it in the ground ., Same result worthless

[parisboogie]

FUNNY YOU SHOULD SEND A REMARK LIKE THAT...THE CAR HAS BEEN RESTORED TO ITS FULL GLORY,,,,,never mind it carnt be done...

[TULLYNOL]

This is not a preserved item .... this is an example of what moisture and minerals do to steel .

[jughead63065]

R.I.P Mr.BOYD CODDINGTON 

[TheFatAssCat]

Well, at least the mileage is very low.

[FARTNREDNECK]

The car would have been better preserved in a horse barn ffs, this is sad

[pedoncule123]

America should die for this.... they litteraly tortured a car 50 years underground and now its scrap.... very sad... dumbasses should have kept it in a garage on blocks or someting...

[sb57fury1]

@pedoncule123 I agree 100%

[alloutoftime]

That ego-maniac Boyd probably was very eager to cut the roof off this car to turn it into a shitbox, but the 50 years of rust beat him to the punch

[seenalotabs]

Even in this decrepid condition, This car looks better than most cars built today. HEY DETROIT! News break here, It costs as much to build an ugly car as it does to build a sexy one.

[mukans]

and thats called time capsule, i imagined it a bit different

[bratattack5]

Like Christine l bet she'll start :)

[hehwoah1]

MAN They should have wrapped it in saranwrap instead of a tarp, she may have looked a bit better!

[shaunsstuff79]

that boyd guy sounds like a major prick!! i dont like him !! as for the plymouth it deserves to be restored not just preserved!! i've seen cars in worse shape than this and have been restored to immaculate condition !

[paintballgundown8]

a zliplock bag and a zinc ingot could have kept that thing more preserved

[MrANCHOVIES2]

CHRISTINE !

[MyCatChuck]

total fail.

[fryking22]

To bad there isn't the technology to put Boyd in a time capsule to be woken up later.

[volunteerz]

It looks like a vehicle out of the Fallout game

[paintballgundown8]

The engineers spent days and days trying to come up with the perfect way to withstand the elements for a year or two. 50 years later you get this

[IWENTHOME2007]

wow! and they left gas and oil cuz they thought cars would be flying by now and hard to get... boy were they wrong! lol

[rodman23t]

bet if you tried to wash it you would have nothing left but a pile of mud and rust. if you don't do anything with it now its gonna be lost very soon anyway.

[mikestheman3]

Boyd couldn't get his own cars running, LOL!

[kingspunkbubble]

What if they had found Jimmy Hoffa in the trunk?

[gogogadgetcar]

If this car gets restored 90% of it would end up being replaced....so leave it as it is... like Boyd said it's bitchin! I love it as it is, a 57 from 57!

[logik316]

@gogogadgetcar

I don't know about that. You need oxygen for steel to rust. And the car was underground where it had very little exposure to air, so the rust may actually be fairly superficial. I wouldn't want to see it restored either, though. It would take all the character out of the car.

[MrLangley59]

c'mon dave from davids farm could get that going

[tavco]

@MrLangley59 LOL!

[parisboogie]

this car deserves being restored.........the country should honour this...

[tavco]

@parisboogie LOL !

[Rarrin9378]

@tavco !!!!

[Maples01]

@parisboogie Should be reburied as a waste, face it, this car is a waste, NOTHING can be restored!

[sb57fury1]

@parisboogie thank you . I agree 100%

[nickslayer1]

wow i would like to see that fully restored it would take some time but i believe that someone could fully restore it

[19mg94]

i wounder if anyone lost their virginity in that old car lol

[sirmugman]

such niceness in there from the 50's i love the beer cans and the tellyverion maybe they thought in the futrue telly won't be like this

[gravedigr12]

i cant understand anything ur tv was to loud thanx for trying tho

[welder541]

I always wondered if the 6pks of beer they had left in the trunk for the grand reopening ceremony made it through alright??? Probably tasted the same way the car looked. Like S!@$

[musclecar1367]

Fail

[1991blakebrooks]

it was a let down to see the car come out in such bad shape but in such good shape as well. i can't wait until January 18, 2048 for them to be bringing up a 1998 Plymouth prowler i hope it come's out better looking the Miss Belvedere did

[machone7I]

a car would have lasted longer in a garage u.u

[19mg94]

theres still air in the tire lol

[creaturebotman]

Its like they went out to any ole dump and picked out a good for nothing rusty old heap. This had to be the biggest hick town bloopers of all time!

I mean really!

Its like they dug up a dead half rotten corpse from the city graveyard, dressed it up and pranced it around as if it were in a beauty pageant.

OOOH the humanity!

And then they tried to play it off like "Look! SEE... its alright...its fine..yeah..heh..don't she look fine?"

How embarrassing

[bwild61]

In the early 90's some folks thought the vault might contain some water.

[bwild61]

When the Plymouth was first shown to the people of Tulsa, I have heard most of them screamed with horror and had to leave.

[ziggassedup]

not even another 50yrs soaking in WD40 will fix that..LOL.

[1OklahomaSucks1]

Haha look at all the dumb Okies fawning over a rusted piece of scrap metal. Y'all so stupid. LMAO!

[fordmustang500kr]

ya and ur a fucking no life lmao

[1OklahomaSucks1]

@fordmustang500kr

LMAO! Let me get this straight, your calling me a lowlife? Ironic that someone who gets hard looking at pictures of vehicles he will never be able to afford is calling someone else a loser.

Anyways, like I said, this car is a piece of junk that should be done away with. Leave it to an oh so intelligent Okie to actually try and have this thing restored.

[fordmustang500kr]

hey i never said it could be resord r-tard

[badgerbuddy]

haha... this would be a perfect setup for a sequel to Christine. besides this car looks more like the kind car that would roll away and kill people at night. it looks more evil than christine did...haha

[kronkit]

Jeroen3nl you realy are a prime example of someone that has opened his mouth before putting his brain in gear. This car and presenter are both legends like thelowmax has said if you knew what you was talking about you wouldnt make such sweeping coments. You truely are a wanker.

[weldon0m]

POOR CAR.. 8(  SHE DID NO WRONG

[dnl5649]

thats probably more dirt and shit than rust

[GTAGlendale]

what a waste of a car

[badgerbuddy]

@GTAGlendale well think about it... if it didn't go in a time capsule, it probably would have ended up in a junk yard, like most 50s cars, or in the middle of a field looking like the rusty glendale in the woods of san andreas... either way, the car would probably end up as scrap... but at least this one has a cool story to go with it

[mikestheman3]

Boyd couldn't get his own cars running, LOL!

[jeroen3nl]

it would have looked better being stored in a pool... stupid americans building great cars but forgetting to maintain them

[wpaschal88]

Hey take it easy, when it comes to americans, yea there are some stupid ones I'll give you that, but dont include all of us. I maintain my own cars, I dont evn take it to an oil change place, NOBODY WORKS ON MY CARS BUT ME, is my life style, and my family is in the proccess of finishing a 49 ford custom, restoring a 64 ford truck, and on the way is a 66 galaxie and an 88 olds 442, so when you say americans, please put most in front of it.

[thelowmax]

wpaschal88 It's sad that you fed into the anti-American rhetoric, pleading that jeroen3nl not insult all Americans, just most of them. Great job on defending yourself alone though. To me, that's more indicative of the problems in our country.

[thelowmax]

@jeroen3nl - It's small of you to condemn a country and it's people by a novelty. This obviously wasn't a scientific experiment and certainly is not how anyone, American or not, cares for their car. The United States was built on and by the automotive industry and most of us take great pride in our vehicles, as well as most aspects of our lives (like most people on the planet).

[thelowmax]

@jeroen3nl - Lastly... your comment was far more telling of your lack of intelligence than critical of Americans. Had you actually watched and listened, you would have known that, technically, the car WAS stored in a pool, as the container that held it had cracked and filled with water. I don't care what your nationality is. I'm basing your stupidity on you and your comment alone.

[jeroen3nl]

well im sorry to hurt every americans feelings and i opoligize for it. but still it would have looked like new if it were to bee stored in a water filled container of wich the water couldnt vaporize since the mixture of air/water rusts metal thats why cars in the desert dont rust not enough water in the air ;)

[imsohot55]

feel bad for that car

[sexyboi142]

i heard that the back springs popped under the cars weight and from being rusted out thats why it sits so low in the rear and also that there is no longer any info on miss belvedere

[superbird426]

sad to see a nice car in that condition..

have they started to resore this Plymouth????

[mikestheman3]

I herad it was too far gone. Did you see under the trunk lid, the inner support panel was hanging down. What a shame!

[Nubby1991]

It actually IS being restored. it actually isnt too bad. the paint is still shiny. They are using a donor car to replace the rusted out rear end.

It's on Hemmings Auto blogs. check it out.

[mikestheman3]

Just checked it out, thanks for the heads up! It's too bad back then they didn't put the idiots who thought of this idea inside the car when they buried it, imagine the stupidity of man. Anyway, I'm glad to see it's getting de-rusted!

[funtana101]

they should bury a prius

[1998disco72]

Boyd Coddington is such a asshole. That is why his show never did well on the Discovery Channel. He is a prick.

[robietrav]

i agree by far. he had many great great mechanics working for him that he treated like shit. working them to death 65 hours a week till they had to quit after being to worn out. sad sad sad

[APontiacof455cubes]

thats what happens when ur old, white and rich. not to mention when ur always missing the toilet cause u got hardly nothing to hold on to.

[dicarlo57]

Not any more, now he is dead dead dead. I wonder if they will dig him up in 50 years to see whats left. I dont think they will try to restore him.

[Dayberry]

I wanna see it start lol

[judgegixxer]

Too bad theres no film of them putting the stuff in and burying it in 57'

[duaneafields]

There is. I saw it on a tv special. I can't recall what chanel, but it was a big deal and looked like a parade was there.

[trimphbsa]

TITANIC! What a drag it is getting old. Hell, Kieth Richards looks better than that misfortunate car.

[hnksnw]

Your mother looks better than that unfortunate car.

[markmarshall39]

omg jimmy hoffa

[lalbruiz]

Ha, ha...still laughing about that one..."don´t open the trunk"...

I read that they buried a 2007 Plymouth Prowler to be unearthed in 2057, I hope they preserve it better than they did with this one. Maybe with one of those bubble wraps that cut your fingers when you try to open them...a giant one please.

[lalbruiz]

Ops, is it a Chrysler Prowler or a Plymouth Prowler? Not sure.

[markmarshall39]

that would be plymouth!

[lalbruiz]

Thanks!!

[kredentamnekje]

Its Plymouth Belvedere 1957.

[brace06]

in 1998 they buried a 1998 prowler and its gonna be opened in 2048

[ccrraaazzy]

no they didnht

[mistabig3]

Where did they bury the prowler?
