57 Plymouth to be unearthed from 50 year Time Capsule

I know it has been a long time since Plymouth closed it doors, but Plymouth was made by Chrysler, not Ford, GM or Pontiac.

You have some wrong newsgroups.

But since most of us are general car buffs, we appreciate the fact that he did.

is this an advertisement for Tulsa OK or a cool story about a car? because I went to the site and I'm not seeing nearly enough info about the car.

I think its a cool public announcement on the exciting festivities to happen when they unearth the car in June after being buried for 50 years.

I think these are all automotive newsgroups, although it has been buried for

50 years the Plymouth is still an Auto.

This is still remarkable in it's own right.... This is an article about a little piece of automotive history... long before we started seeing cars that look like a half used bar of soap.

Aside from the cross posting, I'm all for little notes like this...

Will probably be a pile of rust when they lift the lid.

Plus, the '57/'58 Fury's are probably some of the best looking cars ever made. Sure as hell a lot more attractive than a 57/58 Ford or Chevy, Pontiac, Olds, etc.. In my opinion anyway. Christine from the Stephen King novel/film was a '57 or '58 Fury. The design concepts for these cars was the 'forward look'. It'll be interesting to see if the car still looks brand new. Hopefully, they'll start it up and drive it a bit.

If it is anything like the beautiful '57 red 2D HT I owed, they will not find much except a pile of rust LOL

Not just you, Grapple. Some of those cars looked good. And properly kitted out, they ran like a scalded ape.

That was why I bought one, it was one outstanding looking, gutsy, car. A year later it was a rusting rattle trap so I dumped it. Unfortunately I bought a '58 Chevy 2 DR HT and it too was a rust bucket. ;)

I think it will be intact cuz I think its in an airtight vault.

O no!! "Christine" back again!!! Playing those old Do Wop music on her radio!!!

More than your useless cross post. Most of us have owned autos from many of the manufacturers and are car buffs that enjoy the older models. It was of interest to many given the number of positive replies.

Was there anything made in the '50s & '60s that was not a rust bucket? Remember the Rusty Jones franchises that started about the 1970's or so?
