Re: IML: Tulsa '57 Plymouth

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Belvedere obviously did not 'r.i.p.' all these years like those who came 
up with the idea of burying it back in '57 thought it would.  I've watched 
many of the videos on the internet about the car and it being unearthed. 
Three to four feet of water had to be pumped out of the hole after the 
concrete lid was removed on Wednesday.  It was noted in the news accounts 
that the water marks on the walls were indicative the car had been 
completely under water at some point.  My question is why was the decision 
made to bury the car underground?  Would it not have made more sense to have 
sealed the car in a building or an above ground vault to be 'exhumed' in 
2007?  At least it would not have been (literally) sitting in a pool of 
water.

Just my .02...
