Belvedere time capsule not looking good
In 1957 Tulsa buried a 1957 Belvedere as a 50 year time capsule.
They are digging it up and it doesn't look good for the car. Quote:

Bugger!

well at least we have something to look forward to, now that the sopranos is over and done with. hopefully a better conclusion anyway.
|
With that red mud, it sure looks like Oklahoma
|
If they used the same concrete as they used on the Interstates, I am not surprised at all.
|
was it a hemi ?
|
prolly either the 301 V8 or the straight six, I don't think the 392 hemi was available in that car.

The material is then coated with a Teflon-like substance, making it superhydrophobic. Once that water-repellent layer is laid down, layers of charged polymers and nanoparticles can be added in certain areas, using a properly formulated water/alcohol solvent mixture, thereby creating a superhydrophilic pattern to vent off unwanted moisture. To make it even more interesting, they would get it all funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Science Foundation and make a tidy sum on the side! (Those Okies would be left wondering why their thumbs were still up their butts!) ((BTW - Professors Robert Cohen and Michael Rubner of MIT are actually involved in this work.)) |
Man, I hope I don't look like that at 50...

YouTube - 1998 Prowler A centennial time capsule, interred on Jan. 17, 1998, in honor of the City's 100th birthday, is buried at Centennial Park. The time capsule, scheduled to be unearthed in the year 2048, includes items such as a prototype of the 1998 Plymouth Prowler, a City of Tulsa Financial Report, student essays on what Tulsa will be like in the year 2048, and Tulsa restaurant menus. |
easy $150,000 car at the next barrett-jackson show.
as they would describe it: "a rare survivor". |
Anyone have any photos that do not come back with 404 errors?
|
That looks. . . um. . . bad.
|
cant imagine what the winner of that hunk of rust must feel like...
|
note to self: "self, scratch the Porsche 930 time capsule idea in the front yard...continue driving and enjoying the car daily...run the wheels off of it. Remember to instruct the kids to fill up the deep hole that you had them dig..."
