So, there it was, in SUN 5/9/10 L.A. Times,
an article about a large private automobile
collection, in Oxnard, CA.
The collector, Peter Mullin by name, recognized
that the submerged remains of a car was worthy
of preserving in its as-recovered condition, as
part of his 100-car collection.
Now, why would somebody do such a thing?
"It's the beauty from the deep....you can't
possibly improve on it. How could you replace
that patina?"
....talk to Ultra-None, about that, I guess.

So, the fact that this car is French makes Ms. Belvie even more worthy of preservation, as-was!
Oh, well; we'll always have Paris--I mean: TULSA!
Same thing, right?

Now, who would ever want to see a derelict car (that obviously is "rusting-to-dust", as 'they' said, about Ms
Belvie, after her long bath), being in such a condition as that ?

Location: bishop, ca | If only the City's Fathers/Mothers had had a sense of marketing, and a sense of humor, they would
have bought the remains from the Winning Family, and preserved Ms Belvie as the Midwest's
"Leaning CAR of Tulsa".
