Buried Car Ping!

Only a couple of days till they dig up the car! It's all over the news here and they've blocked off parts of downtown to traffic.

Nonetheless, the boys and I are going to try to get down there and look. I'll post pictures.

I threw together a ping list of folks from this thread that I thought might be interested in updates. If you don't want me to ping you any more, please forgive me and let me know via freepmail...I'll take you right off.

Might want to bring a metal detector in case there are some particles of steel mixed in with the layer of rust.

Tulsa County Buried 1957 Plymouth Belvedere

Thanks for the ping. I actually scheduled vacation time to be in Tulsa on Friday. I have half a mind to be there at the unveiling.

But I’m sure there will be huge crowds with parking problems.

My step-father has lived in Tulsa since the 40’s. I asked him if he had put in a guess as to the population of Tulsa in 2007. He said no.

Too bad. But someone (or their heirs) will win.

Win what, we just don’t know. My guess is that it will have just minor surface rust.

Does anybody know what color it is?........All the pics are BW.......

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think burying a car helps preserve it very well. Also the Plymouth brand is now part of the past and no longer made.

Memories!

I drove a new one of those to deliver drugs (for an ethical pharmacy, NOT the Columbians).

It had the cool pushbutton shift panel to the left of the wheel. If you revved her up and pushed “D,” you could get some MAJOR rubber. Glad it belonged to the store. :-))

Thanks for the ping. This is certainly more important than anything that’s in the news. :-)

Thanks for the ping...hope there’s till something that resembles a car, still looks like a fun event though.

Thanks. Luckily I remembered all on my own over the weekend, and checked on the website. Funny I was thinking it could be July, but maybe June (JUxx month, anyway). Glad I remembered before this Friday!

I was a juror this morning and took a look at progress during a break.

Half of the concrete cover was off, and workers were pumping out water. Apparently, the car had been almost submerged in H2O.

I could see the rear half of the car, but it's covered in plastic wrap. Should be interesting what's underneath...

Thanks for the reminder!
