[description]Tulsarama: Is the '57 Plymouth Missing?

In case you've been hiding in a gunite-encrusted vault of your own for the past few years, here's the story: In 1957, the Tulsarama organizers buried a new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere, chosen for its futuristic styling, in a concrete vault as a time capsule.

After seeing this picture circulating on the Internet, we were left wondering... Why are they digging up the Plymouth nearly three weeks early?

To find out why folks in Tulsa were unearthing the Plymouth vault late last month, click HERE.

 

Can Speed Racer Save The Hobby? Tune in to Find Out

 [description]As Old Cars Weekly Blogger Ron Kowalke grows older (and a little grayer!) he, like many car hobbyists, is left wondering who will protect and cherish these chrome-encrusted beauties when this generation of collectors is gone?

Will the popularity of movies like "Cars" and the upcoming "Speed Racer" introduce a whole new generation of "gearheads" to the hobby?

Click here to read Ron's musings on this pressing topic.
 

Florida Collector Buys "Chitty" Car For $500,000

Tulsarama Update: Plymouth Vault Flooded — Rust Possible
 


[description]

 

 

[description]Water in Plymouth Vault Dampens Spirits

 

Officials in Tulsa were dismayed Wednesday to find the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere that has been buried beneath the city courthouse lawn for the past 50 years, sitting in nearly 2 feet of water.

Despite being sealed in what amounts to a giant "sandwich baggie," event officials are uncertain what condition the car will be in when it is unwrapped on Friday.

To find out about this late-breaking situation, click HERE.
P.S. Don't forget that www.OldCarsWeekly.com will be posting photos and articles directly from the Tulsarama event! Be sure to check our site often in the coming days to learn what's happening in Tulsa.
