“...the contents of a typical woman’s handbag placed in the glove compartment: ... a bottle of tranquilizers,”

A certain Rolling Stones song comes to mind here.

Back in 1957, you could tell the difference between a ‘57 Pontiac and a ‘57 Plymouth Belvedere a mile away.

"I just need to see it," said Marc Montague of Auckland, New Zealand, ... "I've been waiting 15 years for this."

And I thought Star Wars fans were nuts for waiting in front of a theater for mere weeks!

Oh, and would somebody check to see if he let his visa & passport expire?

I was wondering myself if they knew where it was buried. Or if they had some kind of marker for it

I hate to say this but I think it is ruined.If the water got inside the vault like they are saying its going to be junk.Maybe they should have sealed it better.

Well, supposedly, there is supposed to be some video online here —

http://www.oklatravelnet.com/

I tried it earlier today, but couldn’t get anything. It could have been overloaded, though. They said on the TV News (at noon today) that this online website would have the video for that car. I can’t verify it, though, since I couldn’t get it to work for me.

They’re supposed to have podcasts on it, but I looked and looked and couldn’t find it there. They haven’t made it very clear, if they intended for other people, outside of the area, to see it.

Good luck...

Well, I guess they are going to try to start it. If it will, is another question

Or park it in a garage?

the contents of a typical woman's handbag placed in the glove compartment: 14 bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, a lipstick, a pack of gum, tissues, a pack of cigarettes, matches and $2.43.

My favorite line in the article. So that is how women of the past kept it all together.....tranquilizers....LOL!!!

Well, there was some kind of stone marker and metal face plate — saying that there was a car buried and a time capsule there, too — but — it wasn’t clear exactly where the actual vault was.

So, they did have people doing some kind of “ground search” trying to locate the vault (some kind of hi-tech equipment involved). It was on the news that they didn’t know exactly where it was at... LOL...

They did get some company (from another state) to wrap it in three layers of some kind of material to seal it up and supposedly protect it. But, it seems to me that no matter how well you wrap something like that, it’s hard to avoid ground water getting into it. The only other way to have done it would have been to have an “above-ground” vault and protected it that way. As it is, it probably rusted quite a bit, I would guess. We’ll know a lot more in the coming days — and especially by 7 PM tonight.

Also buried with it were 10 gallons of gasoline

That must have cost about $1.99 back then.
