If you have been reading my posts for some time, you will remember I wrote one up about the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere that was buried in a time capsule in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 50 year anniversary is this Friday, at June 15th at 7pm. The TV station, KOTV in Tulsa, is providing a live streaming feed. Click here>> 1957 Plymouth unearthing.
According to reports, the concrete vault that the car was placed in failed and water leaked in. It appears water had filled the vault completely at one time. The car is wrapped in plastic and canvas. There was even a 10 gallon can of gas and some oil in case internal combustion engines were obsolete in 2007. Obviously, folks were optimistic back then by thinking we would have been beyond the gas habit by now.
Lloyd, signing out…
Here are some high resolution pictures of the car and the items that were stored inside it. Looks like a “fixer upper”

Everyone’s really interested of what’s gonna happen to this vehicle. Will its parts like that of plymouth oxygen sensor will be affected? I guess we have to wait and see till its unwrapped and see what changes it had..
