A vintage car (mentioned here on our blog the last few weeks)buried for 50 years in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is coming to Frederick, MD. The new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere was buried in honor of Tulsa's 50th birthday celebration in 1957. It was unearthed during a centennial celebration last month and was awarded to the closest living relative of Ray Humbertson -- the man who, 50 years ago, most closely guessed the city's current population. Humbertson died in 1979 so the car is being given to his sister, Catherine Johnson of Bowling Green, Maryland. Her Frederick nephew Bob Carney will try to remove 50 years of rust and make the car presentable. He won't do a full restoration, which he says would remove some of the car's historic value. Tulsa will give the car to Johnson on September 14th.
