I meant for this to go to the list but I just replied to Marv so I'm
forwarding it to all.

I got to see the video at last, I think the announcer is probably not an
automotive person and simply had a job to do reporting on a time chamber to be
opened in the future and probably buried before he was born. When I saw the
preparation I was impressed with the preparation for long term storage that they
performed. As for the stuff they were spraying on the walls I thought it might
be Gummite like they build swimming pools with, if so it should be water tight
and give the car a better chance at survival.

I agree with Ted. I heard the comment about gas guzzler and thought
what an idiiot....Plymouth and all of the ForwardLook cars that year won their
class in the annual Mobil Gas Economy Run.
But the opportunity to see the preparation was good...Does anyone know
what was being sprayed on the walls at the end? Was this an insulation
material? Just can't make it out. And how was the cover
suspended? All these years with no cave in? The
covering on the car appeared to be a heavy canvass or similar. The
engine was covered. I hope all fluids would have been drained from the
engine. The official from Tulsa seemed to offer some encouragement as to
the condition to be expected.
