Raising The Belvedere, This Friday!

Remember that next Friday is the day when Tulsa's "time capsule" gets unearthed.
You may recall that Ken posted in March about the Belvedere that was buried in Tulsa in 1957 as a time capsule.

Here is the official Schedule...

Tulsarama! 1957 Plymouth Time Capsule Unearthing, 6.17.2007

On June 15, 1957, a new gold and white 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe was buried in a time capsule in downtown Tulsa, OK. The time capsule was part of Golden Jubilee Week: Tulsa's celebration of Oklahoma's semi-centennial. The car is buried under the sidewalk in front of the Tulsa County Courthouse, approximately 100 feet north of the intersection of Sixth Street and Denver Avenue.
As part of the "Tulsarama!" festivities, citizens of Tulsa were asked to guess what the population of Tulsa would be in the year 2007. The guesses were then recorded on microfilm and sealed in a steel container buried with the car. When the car and artifacts are excavated, the person whose guess is closest to Tulsa's 2007 population is to be awarded the Belvedere.
