Over the years Miss Belvedere filled with water hundreds of times, the
interior, the trunk and maybe even the gas tank which had a vented gas cap. The
interior seats were like a sponge and when saturated they also were super
heavy. Now when the water table drops the car which was submerged under water for
a long time would retain the water inside it and in it's trunk and seats
which was more weight than you can imagine. This cycle repeated over and over and
over again for 50 years naturally broke the rear springs. Guess they should
have buried one with the optional towing package to support the weight over
the years.!!!! Did anybody hear the rumor that city of Tulsa want to buy the
car back from the winner and chop it into little tiny pieces and sell those
pieces as souvenirs of the buried Tulsa Belvedere completely with a story and
photos of the event?
