They're gonna dig it out in 2007. Hope I remember to be watching in a few years. Check it out.... Buried Plymouth
ive been by there a 100 times and never seen a sign or anything.didnt even know about it.damn now i have to go look for it.
They bried it with a jug of gas??? The car might stink really bad... We could have our own HAMB contest. We could guess it's condition-- the one who's closest gets to win an old tire...
Its funny how they say they think "Plymouth is a true representative of automobiles of this century - with the kind of lasting appeal that should still be in style fifty years from now" and now Plymouth is no more
They better be careful when they dig it up, that hole could be a bubble of gas fumes. FOOM! the Tulsa sky will rain singed NOS Plymouth parts!

It's gonna work out one of two ways. Either that is going to be the most pristine (that rhymes with Christine, ironic?..I think not) 57 plymouth in existence, OR it's going to be a rusted scaley mess. A guy next to my shop actually remembers when they did that. He said there was not a whole lot of great care to insure it was leakproof. It was put in a metal tomb in the ground, that's about it.

"57 Plymouth Buried in Tulsa" You cats in Tulsa are even buryin' Plymouths now? Damn, it is the gates of hell.
my dad told me the other week that he found out the septic tank on his vacation property is (was) an old ford. this house was built in the 40's so I don't know the year. He has to get a new septic tank soon... (imagine that).
I can see it now..., Mel standing there with a can of "Goofoff" to remove the Cosmoline and the car disintigrates before everyones eyes as the cosmoline is removed...!!!! I'll be watching as well..., "God Willing"...!
Jetsons is right, think about it, 50 years Prior to 1957 we basically still had carts and horses. Their thought were the precding generations would invent the technology on the same scale....................hmmmmmmmmmmm, I think we failed!
[ QUOTE ] the car disintigrates before everyones eyes as the cosmoline is removed...!!!! [/ QUOTE ] I was thinking the same thing. It'll go from mint to looking like every other 57 plymouth that has been sitting around for 40+ years in about an hour once the oxygen hits it. Billy
I hope they filled the cylinders with oil (or maybe the whole motor?) maybe that 'new' 30 weight castrol R
I bet the upholstery will be all sticky and the whitewalls will be flat and yellow. I wonder if they had air ventilation. I didn't read the article yet, maybe i should before posting right now. k, bye. It would be fun to be there I like the neat old sign "Suddenly its 2007" Shit, we are the future people in all those old scifi '50s movies. Creepiness I feel kinda special, but weird too
Shit, I want the gum and cigarettes from 1957 outta the glovebox... I can only imagine what the 5 gallon can of gasoline and the oil will smell like in 2007. I wonder if that's safe. I've heard something about this before. Somebody also buried a new 1950s Corvette back east somewhere too. When they dug it up, the fiberglass was all bubbly and shit. I can't remember the details... kool anyway. Even if the old Plymouth looked like hell, I would drive it all over with all the neat shit in the glovebox.
OK..., here's the deal..., we set up an unofficial HAMB car show the same time they unearth the car...! Next..., we park all our cars around it confusing the public and we simply drive off with it after the show...! (Anyone bring a tow rope??? ) Well maybe we could just show up and do a 210 car salute Burnout...!!!!!!!!!!!
not meant to hijack but my favorite buried car story its parry thomas land speed record holder in 1926 and in 27 he crashed and died on the course , they buried the car, and in 69 a guy found it and dug it up, here is the link, http://www.morrigancraftpottery.co.uk/pt3b.htm didnt mean to hijack ,but very good story about the speed guys over in Europe while good old America was at Daytona and Bonneville and it is better than the ford pilot an old lady buried in 34 for a bomb shelter in england
I got a bad feeling its gonna look like the matchbox and hotwheels cars i used to dig up in my yard after a while and that means its aint gonna be pretty
Come on Mark, lets go! It'll be fun! oldchevyseller- that story is kinda sad, but neat how that guy found the car years later.
