Tulsa Time

It's the concrete sarcophagus for you!

On June 15, 1957 a brand new Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe was "swaddled in rust-resistant preservatives and gently placed inside a giant concrete sarcophagus" as part of a time capsule to opened - you guessed it - 50 years later on June 15, 2007.



Complete details, including images and even a video of the interrment, can be found here at the Telstar Logistics blog, a delightful little fraud that's worth a closer look in its own right. I often wonder why those burying time capsules don't give them a little more time accrue impact.
