.Back in 1957 a “Brand new” 1957 Plymouth Belvedere with only 4 miles on the odometer, was sealed in an underground vault - time capsule for 50 years in 1957, only to be unearthed in 2007! 😳

In 1957 the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma decided to invest in a time capsule that would be entombed in an underground vault near the Tulsa city courthouse. It would not see the light of day again until the year 2007.

The largest artifact in this time capsule was a brand new 𝟭𝟵𝟱𝟳 𝗣𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗲. The Desert Gold and Sand Dune White Sport Coupe was to be awarded to the person, or their heirs, who had the closest guess as to the population of Tulsa in 2007.

Amid much fanfare the new Plymouth, dubbed “Miss Belvedere”, was lowered into its 50 year resting place on June 15, 1957. Two generations passed and many who watched miss Belvedere being entombed were no longer around to see the great unveiling.

In the years and months leading up to the great event there was much speculation about the condition of the car, ranging anywhere from “pristine” to “very badly damaged by moisture”!

On June 14, 2007, during Oklahoma’s state centennial celebrations, the great event took place. Unfortunately when opened the vault, they found out it was not waterproof… imagine the shock and horror when the lid of the time capsule was lifted and the car was found standing in 3 feet of water. Other evidence showed that water had been so high as to almost reach the lid at some point. After the water was pumped out and the car was lifted from its resting place it was found that pretty much all that held the car body together, was rusted. The paint and the rear springs were almost entirely rusted away. Nobody wanted the car but a company was finally found that they would attempt to salvage what was left and remove as much of the rust as was possible.

Even after this was done there was little left for anyone to want and it took until 2015 before Miss Belvedere finally found a permanent home. She now sits on display at the Historic Auto Attractions Museum in Roscoe, Illinois 🇺🇸
