It was a very good year

I guess I'm just a sucker for a good time capsule story...
A muddy, rusty 1957 Plymouth Belvedere was lifted out of the Oklahoma earth yesterday, 50 years after the citizens of Tulsa deposited the coupe in an underground vault near the county courthouse to commemorate the state’s 50th anniversary.

The car was interred with 10 gallons of gasoline, in case fuel would be obsolete in 2007, and a time capsule containing civic records, a prayer and a history of Tulsa churches.
