Unfortunately that's probably not far from the truth.    Whatever may 
have been left since the '80s is likely now a pale shadow of oxidized 
recycled warbird crumbling into the soil.   I've seen what happens to 
an early sedan that gets left in a dampened shaded humid flora-rich 
environment for ten years...  fell apart when someone tried to move it.

It might be a nice thought but those three Vairs are likely long 
since gone or so badly corroded that there's hardly enough left to 
bother with bringing back... unless it was to become a novelty 
display of the remains of the rusted hulk which would likely require 
some additional structural support in order to keep from slowly 
settling into a heap of rust flakes.



On another note:

Did the "From Here To There" '60 sedans fare any better than the 
Darien '61s?
