... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

The '51 Pontiac is still taxed and still green
Date of Liability 01 06 2009 Date of First Registration 17 05 1991 Year of Manufacture 1951 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 3919CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour GREEN
I'm sure I've seen it somewhere as it rings a bell.
Its interesting how some stuff is well known around and about and just disappears. Kev Rooney was trying to find out what became of "Moulin Rouge" for some time and that had been moving from place to place - still off the road - but as the centrepiece of a car dealers' showroom display, something to do with a display in a bar or something and seems to have lost its original registration number.
a couple of the old rods from back in the day you run their plates through RAC and they come back as being a 2005 model Range Rover or a 1997 BMW 325 cabrio.
bloody plate transfers!
Sad to hear the end some come to, for example I heard that the Custom Car project '56 Buick was the same car blown up in Little Shop Of Horrors and also apparently known as "the Brixton Buick" - I think 'cos its burnt out carcas was abandonned in Brixton for some time after and became a bit of local landmark. Or something.
The Oldsmobile from Mona Lisa, a car I always liked and having movie "Provenance" is doubley interesting was being turned into a right mess of a "custom" last I saw of it. Runours of it being hunted by "celebrity banger racers" as well. Not sure where I picked that up from.
OTOH its amazing what does turn up again, often in timewarp condition just like its 1970s or 1980s or whatever all over again.
