On June 15, 1957, a new gold and white 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe was buried in a time capsule in downtown Tulsa, OK.

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.
Unearthing of Belvedere and Time Capsule:

Watch again in 2048.
Here are some high resolution pictures of the car and the items that were stored inside it. Looks like a “fixer upper”
Thanks, Bobby. I like the pictures. It’s fun to compare them to the originals.
