The Tulsa Convention center was sold out with 7000 excited citizens who had paid between $10 and $25 to witness the unveiling of a one-of-a-kind 1957 Plymouth Belvedere. "Miss Belvedere" was buried in 1957 in a "time capsule" as part of Tulsa's Golden Anniversary and 50 years later, the Plymouth was going to be unearthed and presented as the main attraction for Tulsa's 2007 Centennial Celebration.

Tah-dah!
The anticipation grew as the mayor and the other local poobahs spoke rhapsodically about Tulsa's Centennial Celebration and the Tulsarama festivities. Boyd Coddington and the crew from American Hot Rod were invited to attend as guest celebrities and were on stage waiting to get their hands on Miss Belvedere.

Finally a drum roll richocheted around the convention center and slowly the curtain was raised, revealing the 50-year old Plymouth. The crowd gasped, the mayor grimaced, the little children grabbed their mommies, and Coddington gagged. The unwitting audience had walked into a nasty Belvedere bitch slap.

Honestly, did they really think the Belvedere was going to come out pristine clean in a concrete septic tank and buried underground while wrapped in plastic? /facepalm :cheese:

I guess physical science wasn't one of the Tulsa educational system's strong points back in 1957. If this is any indication of the future of Tulsa, I'd say they're screwed.

Fission mailure.
 
An accurate representation of just how the "good ole days" were.
 
Somehow I got the impression it was a woman buried in a time capsule, and I was disappointed.
 
Haha, yeah Saturos you're right mate :) Dumbass people come from every race, religion, sex and sociological background. Should be tolerated in public/beaten when nobodies looking :p
 
Que, I agree. I was ready to fap to some old dead lady...but NOOO it's a freaking car.

I'm completely dumbfounded though. How'd they not have an idea that this was how the car was going to turn out? Was everyone in Tulsa back in 57' really such complete retards?!?!

The underground moisture basically stewed underneath that plastic and completely rotted the entire car inside and out. The plastic I guess was supposed to help preserve the car further in the minds of the un-educated hicks of Tulsa then, but only made matters much, MUCH, worse.

Plus, it must suck for those who entered that contest to win the car in 2007, (supposedly in pristine condition) back in 57' only to discover the harsh reality of moisture and oxidation. :p

Perhaps the winning ticket should've included free college tuition too? (NOT Tulsa community college though) Serves them right I guess.

Must be your teenage hormones talking, not Que-Ever. Statement excused. ;)
 
Holy shit, It's a proud day to be an American.


Another funny scenario is if like there was no more gas or something when it was raised. Probably runs on leaded fuel anyway. LOL

I'm just glad NASA or something wasn't behind this.
 
The US would've been the laughing stalk of the entire world fs.

Ah, I think we've already achieved that. ... YES! another US achievement!
 
It looks like it was just unearthed from the Titanic's wreckage or something...

Thanks. I was pretty tired when I typed this last night. :dozey:

Yeah, there were some, "Rat Rodders" who absolutely loved the thing. They said it had, "attitude". :)
 
lets just put it like this.. a town called T U S L A.. reverse that and you get A S L U T.

that sums up the intelligence of tulsa.
 
That hole it was buried in was meant to survive a nuclear attack. Apparently not.
 
Jintor's avatar could use an equally complementary sig such as, "A facepalm for every post!" :D

Really, it's funny that Jintor posted in this thread with his avatar. Couldn't have been more perfect for the people of Tulsa's stupidity. :LOL:
 
I'd drive that POS. put some hot wheels style huge wheels on it.

really, I think it'd be cool to drive a car that is practically in flames
 
It would've probably done better if they just wrapped it in plastic and kept it in some random guy's garage.
