Maybe there is a time vault somewhere in New Jersey with Jimmy Hoffa in it!

A friend of mine uncovered a '53 Eldorado convertable several years ago that was covered in cosmoline and then wrapped completely in a plastic tarp cacoon outside in a field--in late '50s--When they found the car they had to cut down trees to get it out---The leather seats and top had deteriorated somewhat--but the rest car was perfectly preserved---CAR has 3,000 mi.---

That car would have been better off dropped to the bottom of lake Superior. It will be interesting to see some pictures of it.
