Tulsa's Buried Car

Apparently the good people of Tulsa Oklahoma buried a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere along with a time capsule next to the County courthouse. The car was put in a vault in the ground that would withstand a nuclear blast....
The plan was to open the vault 50 years later.
On June 15th the vault was opened.
There was a big celebration in Tulsa as it was opened.

In case you not sure what a Plymouth Belvedere looks like here is an old ad for one.



This is what they found.



Looks like the vault could stand a bomb but not rust.
The contents of the time capsule faired much better.
I love the contest they were running in 1957.



I wonder if the will actually award the prize.
You can also see that they were not exactly politically correct in 1957 assuming that it would be a male winner. (His heirs).

Here is a link to the video of the unveiling.
