Saran Wrap and waxed paper! (It's not gonna start Jim.)
They’ve got a “time capsule” that was buried along with the car in the “vault”. There are all sorts of documents in the “tank”. It’s some kind of tank, supplied by a boiler manufacture, I think..., so the contents are probably preserved a bit better than the car...
They’re opening it up now..., cutting through it...
They’ve found the contents of the “time capsule” all preserved perfectly. A “United States 46-star flag” is preserved inside...
Commercial break right now..., the “time capsule” looks like a small tank, which was completely sealed (supplied by a boiler manufacturer, I believe), and everything in there is perfectly preserved. They’ve got all sorts of old documents, like a city map, a school yearbook from some local school.
They’re showing an original postcard which was mailed in for the contest of guessing the population of Tulsa in 2007 (from that time of 1957).
382,000 is the official population that is going to be used for the contest, as to who is going to win the car.... (established from the U.S. government census data, I believe they said...).
They’re going to get the Tulsa Historical Society gather up the postcards for the guesses of the population of Tulsa in 2007 and allow them to find the winner. I’m not sure how long that is going to take. They haven’t found the microfilm yet, that has the guesses.
The contents of the car does not go with the winner, they just made a point of this...
Next Friday, they will announce the winner. If the winner does not come forward in five years, after that announcement, then I guess the winner forfeits winning the car. It would be the actual person or their heirs, who can come forward.
Where’s Geraldo?
Looks like they found the “purse” (a really “ratty” looking thing...). The mayor asks, “Did anybody lose a purse?” LOL...
They’re looking at the white-sidewall tires and reading the names that were written on those white sidewall.
They found a “lighter”... (from the contents of the purse, perhaps)....
Where are the keys to the car? Are they in the ignition...? They think the key is still in the ignition, but they can’t get it out...
Some of the guys are polishing off the chrome bumper..., at least the chrome is still capable of being polished up...
A newspaper pulled out of the “time capsule”.... said something about S&H Green Stamps....
Ahhh..., they found the “guesses”.... for the population of Tulsa... They found one guess close to the current population but they’re not going any further and not saying anything about the rest of the guesses (until they verify it for sure...).
Just reading the newspaper of the day, comparing it today’s papers....
Where does “Miss Belvedere” go next? It’s going to a car show (apparently left as it is and not clean up, I guess...)...
They’re going over the “noon raising” of the car out of the vault. They said there was about 300 people for that downtown event.
It looks like they’re wrapping it up at the Tulsa Convention Center....
That’s it..., I guess we’ll read more of the details in the newspaper or wherever, online...
The “show” is over. They said they’ll rebroadcast the even a couple more times, but I would guess they’ll put an archive of this video, online, at this TV station...
Over and out...
They should not have exhumed “Christine”.
