in the comments on one of the youtube videos, they said that in 98, they burried a plymoth prowler for another time capsul

In 1998, a Prowler prototype was buried along with other artifacts in a time capsule in Tulsa, Oklahoma to be unearthed in 2048, whereupon it will be returned to DaimlerChrysler.
