It was the quintessential gas-guzzling icon of its time.  Tulsa citizens will get a real treat in 2007.  The time capsule, which contains the Plymouth and other memorabilia stuffed inside it, will be opened in 2007.  I ran across this story during my weekly visit to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hemmings.com\/\">Hemmings Motor?s Auto Blog<\/a>.  Apparently, they took strict precautions to ensure that the car and all that is contained within it will be preserved well.  The story line in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N6fQZhua6d0\">video<\/a> states that Tulsa, at that time in 1957, had more cars per capita than any other city in the country, except, of course, Los Angeles.  I never knew that little bit of American auto trivia.  It just goes to show you how much the automobile is forever ensconced in our culture.
