I keep imagining like in some cartoon, they open the vault, and it's just
like the day it went in there...
And as soon as it comes out and really gets hit by today's air, it slowly
disintegrates before your eyes......
2 hours later, it looks just like the one I dragged out of a junkyard last
year -

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.

Viewed the video. Not impressed by the announcer. Gas guzzler? Plymouths
had excellent gas mileage in 1957.
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.
