Re: [Chrysler300] Palo Alto

Yeah, there was a recent interview in one of the collector car magazines 
(around April) with a guy who collects concept cars.  I believe it is the 
fellow who bought the Futurliner and the Bonneville Special at 
Barrett-Jackson this January.  Anyway the dude gets into hard to find 
one-off concept cars and resurrects them back to show status.  He supposedly 
is dauntless until he commissioned a diving/salvage crew to locate the 
Andrea Doria with hopes to get the Dodge Plainsman.  He found the sunken 
vessel but at a cocktail party shortly after was convinced by a metallurgist 
that he may find parts of the engine block and that would be all since the 
vehicle was submerged in salt water for 50 years (especially factoring in 
the lack of rust prevention inherent in the auto industry of the day). He 
subsequently cut his losses and didn't persue the venture further. 300'ly, 
ROB KERN
