I traveled to Tulsa Oklahoma, and decided to take a look for myself where this brand new 1957 Plymouth was buried.  I have to admit that even though I live in Oklahoma, I had never heard of it till I read about it on this site.  You can see pictures of them buring the car baack in 1957 at Tulsarama.com if you want.  Anyway, with about 6 months before they dig her up, I decided to see exactly where it is.  The snow and ice were everywhere, but I did take these two pictures of the site.  Though I would post them in case anyone was interested.  June 15th is the big day!  Many Tulsa residents are planning on attending the opening. 
Hope you enjoy!

SWEET! Its probally rotted by now though. And Ghoste has a story like that but its a 69 Superbee that he pushed into his familys lake. Then a few years back, the lake got filled in so the car is buried now!

Looks like that building's been built recently. I wonder if the construction has damaged the buried car's box?
I guess we'll know in 6 months. :icon_smile:

Thanks for sharing the pics. :thumbs:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I spoke to a couple of guys here in Australia yesterday who are making the trip over to see the "digging up".

It's a pond though, not a lake and I had stripped all the parts off of it with no intention of digging it back up.  It was starting to rust pretty good before it's drowning so there aren't too many similarities really.

Those are still some interesting pics of the site to me as someone who won't be there.

Would anybody be interested in a Charger/Mopar get together on the day of the dig?  If so maybe we can put something together.  I'm only mile or so away from buried car ;)

Looking at the orig pictures it looks like that building was there when they buried it....maybe some remodeling was done though

There is MUCH talk about this un-earthing over at forwardlook.net website.  Much of the hotel rooms are already booked up for the big fin guys.  It's too far for me to go see.  I'm hoping to catch some of the un-earthing on the website. (and maybe TV broadcasts).

Could be...looks like they chopped off the top 4 floors too. :icon_smile_tongue: It's got 7 floors in that old pic & 3 floors in the new one. :nana:
