The moment of truth is at 7 p.m. tonight when Tulsa’s sunken 1957 Plymouth Belvedere is unveiled here for the first time since 1957. Some folks spied a hole in the wrapping. If so, it could be a pile of Oklahoma rust.
UPDATE It was a mess, especially inside. A real sunken wreck. Someone shined up a spot on one of the chrome bumpers, but otherwise… What do you bet that it wouldn’t have started anyway?
















Here are some high resolution pictures of the car and the items that were stored inside it. Looks like a “fixer upper”

Thanks for the link. Good pix. Amazes me that they thought in 1957 that the capsule would not leak, being underground like that. Well, now they know better than to do that again. 😉
