That's funny that they also put 10 gallons of gasoline and 5 quarts of oil in the time capsule. I guess they thought we would probably all have nuclear powered flying cars by now and wouldn't be able to get any!lol

I wonder if the person who guessed right is still alive?

Outside the McDonalds at 23rd/NW Pennsylvania Avenue in
Oklahoma City is a nice '53 Chevy--without an engine.

And with that car, 10 gallons would get you a spin around the block.

On another note I'm reminded of Back to the Future III, what with digging cars out of the desert and all...

Is anyone else temped to go to this? I'm curious as to see how well the car's held up.

Some of the origional kiddo's that posed with the car are still around.

If anyone swings through the great plains let me know. I live three hours away but I always want to leave work.

Harp, How do you know OKC so well?

I think the gasoline would be lacquer by now. This is a really amazing story!

I hope they didn't lock the keys inside.

I found these statements quite charming:
"Plymouth was chosen because it was "an advanced product of American industrial ingenuity with the kind of lasting appeal that will still be in style 50 years from now."

"The contents of a women's purse, including bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, cigarettes and an unpaid parking ticket, were added to the glove compartment of the car shortly before burial."
That sounds like the contents of my pocket book!

Bump

This is coming up June 15th - the car will be unearthed!!

"The contents of a women's purse, including bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, cigarettes and an unpaid parking ticket, were added to the glove compartment of the car shortly before burial."
A very ironic commentary of the times. I wonder if they thought things would be very different today?

 

[Miss Neecerie]

The real question here is....


Will the City make them pay the parking ticket thats stashed in the glove box.....

The contents of a women's purse, including bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, cigarettes and an unpaid parking ticket, were added to the glove compartment of the car shortly before burial.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

[fortworthgal]

I should drive up for this!

 

[RedHotRidinHood]

It's CHRISTINE!!! Wish I wasn't so far away...this would be fun to see!

 

[Shimmy Sally]

I volunteer to take it for a test drive to see if it still runs. See you all later...
