Here's a kind of cool story from Tulsa OK, where the townsfolk have unearthed a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere buried under the courthouse lawn. The car, along with 10 gallons of gas, the contents of an averge woman's purse, and a case of beer (hey, it's Oklahoma), was encased in a concrete bunker and covered over back in 1957 as a time capusle.
Unfortunately, the bunker, which was supposed to have been able to stand up to a nuclear bomb blast, has been leaking water for a while, and the car's been sitting in said water.
They tried starting it yesterday, but, alas, the water did it's damage. It would have been a great story if they'd opened the container and found a bright, shiny classic car that fired up on the first try, but it's not to be.
