I can't say I would mind a '57 with 0 miles
Tulsarama?
I've been waiting for this thing for about 6 months. I want to see how it turns out. It's had a lot of publicity.
But did this make the Caddy forum???Quote:

We know it'll come out with a helluva funk! ::Fart::
Concrete and metal don't mix. Hope there's enough left of the car to even give away.
Are they digging up the capsule on June 15th? I didn't read anywhere that said when.
Take a look at this...Quote:

Ok, so 50 years ago they had people guess what the population would be in 2007 and the person with the closest guess wins the car? Shouldn't that read "person with the closest guess who happens to still be alive fifty years later wins the car"? Isn't 50 years a bit long to be waiting for raffle results ;)
...especially when the Grand Prize is a dry-rotted, rat-infested 1957 Plymouth!
that car is going to be one big rust brown parking lot brick. at lest there's enough gas down there with it to put in the tow truck to get it to a junk yard
Well it doesnt look good.
Rust bucket
Here is a link to a video showing the "Water" that was surrounding the car

My doubts are still great about that car coming out ok.
WWW.TULSA.TV has all of the TV network reports on its website.

Yes, you're right... Schlitz is poor beer.Quote:

I think 50 years of pressure from the ground water has more energy than a 50 year old nuclear bomb.Quote:
