This should be rather interesting. I’d imagine it’s pretty much gone though if the moisture got to it.
WHOA
actually kinda cool
IM thinking of it being in decent condition, not terrible, but not pristine.
Naw man, moist soil is a rust inhibitor.
my frineds got a 49 merc that was buried just like this. its still on the road. dont beleive me? ive got pics!!! ill post them later tommorow.
I didnt Realize this was a new car. should be in alot better shape then!
I want to see this.
As for the Plymouth. From the pictures and what some people were saying, the road was widened at one time which would have shifted the ground some. The concrete wasn’t sealed well enough that moisture won’t get into the tomb. I’m guessing you have a car floating in muck and water.
But if it comes out mint, that would be awesome. I’d live to take a trip down there when they unveil it.
Yeah it would be interesting to see. My biggest curiousity is if they protected the glass before burying it. I can’t help but think that the windows would have caved in.
It would be funny if there was a family of four in it when they open the doors. 50 years later all the people responsible are dead and gone.

dammit, i just wanna see this thing come out
it’s not worth the suspense, i just wanna look at it then check out some porn immediately thereafter while checking my bank account
It says that the “winner” of the car should be recorded on a microfilm that is in a container in the car. More than likely the person that won the car back in the day has already forgotton about it.
x…
they did this before with an old 50’s corvette… paint was far from pristine… cool story though…
no i dont think they knew who the winner was
they all guessed the pop of that town in 2007 and put their answers on the microfilm
whoever is closest when they open the car up is the winner
so who knows who it is
Its “christine”
Spoooky
