Re: Car Buried in 1957 to Be Unearthed in 2007
I remember when this was done. My dad took us down to watch it be lowered into the hole. The car was on display at the dodge dealer for a while and we went down and looked at it before it was sealed up.
I am afraid that it will be a rust bucket after all these years. it was sealed with tar as I recall and Tulsa has a high ground water problem around most of the city. There is a layer of Murphy Clay about 6 to 7 feet down in most areas of the city. Water will travel sideways instead of flowing through it. If they dug it into that then it would be like burying it in a empty swimming pool.
I think my dad was in the lottery for the car but I am not sure. I was about 12 then.
