Vehicle History:
4 years ago I was traveling through South Dakota and came across a car in a farmer's field that I had never seen before (I am a young'n...) a 1957 Plaza.
I tried to purchase the car through friends for 2 years to restore it and finally gave up -- but swore to find and own one "someday"...
My luck brought me to this car early in 2001, when a friend's father passed away in FL and left the Belevedere to him (he could have cared less).
So I snapped it up and have been putting the final restoration touches on it ever since.
I have never been "into" cars, but this one has me hooked! Currently it is winter in MN and she is stored. I cannot believe how much I miss having her around!
Until Spring...Jason
