They will find a ton of rust and seat cover fibers.
If it's like every other '57 Plymouth made it rusted out in 1960.
Does that population include illegals?.......
A 1957 Plymouth will sure look strange...now that it's 2007 and we all have flying cars.
Has Barack Obama been invited to "Tulsarama?"
When I was in the second grade, we did a "time capsule" thing. We drew pictures of our families, and wrote things about ourselves, and put them all in shoeboxes and buried them in the school's court yard. We were supposed to re-dig them up at the end of the year.
But we forgot and never redug them up, and they're probably still there to this day.
It darn near took two people to push in the clutch (nasty nasty return spring on that dude). I unloaded it in 1963 when it started to "unload" on me in maintenance and repairs.
Kinda' like this one except mine was black.
That's some astounding patience. I can't even drive home from the grocery store without digging all the prizes out of the cereal boxes.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
I just hope the color scheme is more exciting than this one.
A friend of mine bought one of those used in 1962. The salesman told him it was in such good shape, we could drive it to Kalamazoo (from Texas), which we did on our tour of the US.
It boasted a push button automatic transmission, brakes that wore out in the Smokies and vinyl seat covers that were hot enough to fry eggs. That poor Plymouth didn't last long after that, but it was good for a few memories.
how about that
I don't think 50 years is enough for a time capsule. It should be a minimum of 100 or 200 years. 50 years is nothing, people commonly have crap for 50 years in their house.
I bet that case of beer in the trunk and the gas fumes mixed nicely over 50 years. Not to mention, the whole car is now saturated with gasoline fumes. Show me a 1950s gas can that's air tight.
BTTT
Environmentalists will be there to set fire to it for being a gas guzzling planet destroyer...
LOL. I drove one to deliver DRUGS in 1957 (for a pharmacy!!!),
It had that goofy transmission button panel to the left of the steering wheel. If you revved it up and pushed "D," you could get some serious rubber.
It belonged to the pharmacy...
If it's authentic there should be a couple of packs of Trojans in the glove compartment and a 1/2 pint of Jim Beam under the seat.
