That is so damn cool. Really cool way to do a time capsule.

[Sunshine]

Shame it didn't come out in better condition but it's still pretty cool.

[RaphistheBest]

Yea... if that car had came out in pristine condition that would've been the absolute coolest thing.

[Buslady]

then i would have to believe it'd be posessed... heh...

Funniest part of the whole thing:

The contents of a "typical" woman's handbag, including 14 bobby pins, lipstick and a bottle of tranquilizers, were supposed to be in the glove box, but all that was found looked like a lump of rotted leather.

WTF was going on thru their minds when they thought a bottle of Tranquilizers was considered to be typical in a woman's purse. I mean seriously was it THAT bad 50 years ago?! :o

Workers also searched for a spool of microfilm that recorded the entries of a contest to determine who would win the car: the person who guessed the closest of what Tulsa's population would be in 2007 — 382,457 — would win.

That person, or his or her heirs, will get the car within a week, along with a $100 savings account, worth about $1,200 today with interest.

Congratulations!! You've just won a rusted heap....and $1200. Yay! :lol:

[Buslady]

I hope a car enthusiast wins the car and restores it. It's all original, the chrome's in excellent shape. Some stuff will be rebuilding like the engine..maybe...or just maybe a good cleaning. Who knows.

Some may see it as a rusted heap, car fans see it as an all original fully restorable classic

[Spike Spiegel]

THAT...IS...COOL!

I hope someone who knows how to fix the car up ends up winning.

I remembered vaguely that "Christine" was a Stephen King book. I just could not remember what it was about.

[That Matt Guy]

I don't see anything in that article about the car killing people.

[Wildcat]

then i would have to believe it'd be posessed... heh...

Yeah...or if it restored itself like Christine did when she got trashed..then we'd have to belive it was posessed :lol:

[RAM BAM]

Sweet! :D
My great uncle has a 50's Belvedere that someone bequeathed to him.
The neat thing about older cars like that is they run off a 6 volt battery.
He got one out of a forklift and the car was up and running!
