That all took place about fifteen miles up the road from me, btw. Local residents were not surprised that the cement vault turned out to be full of water. However, it was fun watching Mayor Taylor gush about the Schlitz beer that was left in the car's trunk ... "You can still read the label!" (through the rust). *rolls eyes* Hubby is very bitter - "What a waste of a good looking old car!"
Me, I had been blissfully unaware of the buried car until it made the front page of the newspaper this morning. What a rust heap! Poor fans indeed. Guess those fallout shelters weren't all they were cracked up to be.
They sure did like to do those time capsule things back in the 50s and 60s.
P.S. I read they buried another Plymouth in 1998! LOL! http://www.kotv.com/news/topstory/?id=129645
So I guess it's not yet out of fashion :)
In Germany, time capsules are usually incorporated into the building blocks of new houses (which aren't likely to get opened any time soon). Or on top of churches (as I read in wiki :) But I doubt they ever buried a car in Germany.
