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

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

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

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

Quote:

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:

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

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.

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

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

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!
