For those of you using prehistoric internet service
"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. The car was seen as a method of acquainting twenty-first century citizens with a suitable representation of 1957 civilization. According to event chairman Lewis Roberts Jr., the Plymouth was chosen because it was "an advanced product of American industrial ingenuity with the kind of lasting appeal that will still be in style 50 years from now." The contents of a women’s purse, including bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, cigarettes and an unpaid parking ticket, were added to the glove compartment of the car shortly before burial. Other items included in the time capsule were: 10 gallons of gasoline and 5 quarts of oil A Douglas Aircraft Co. aerial map of airport facilities and legend Statement from Tulsa council of Churches – and prayer for greatest good next 50 years a recently completed history of churches in Tulsa and a directory of the present churches Statement from board of education – historical data related to 50 years of education in Tulsa and copies of "School Life" all-high school publication issued by Tulsa high schools each month Statements from Mayor and Chamber of Commerce officials Flags which have been flown over the national capitol, state capitol and in the county and city Other aerial photos of the area Statement from Tulsa Trades and Labor Council Statements from all former mayors of the city – their record of service and civic accomplishments in the city, state and nationally Tulsarama! souvenirs including wooden nickels (15 cents worth), flags, T-Town Tom-Tom neckties, ash trays, miniature oil barrels filled with crude oil furnished by Sunray Mid-Continent Oil Co., playing cards, key chain, souvenir historical plates and a copy of the "Riding into Tulsa" recording by Ralph Blane Copies of the Tulsa World and Tulsa Tribune A copy of the 1957 Tulsa Chamber of Commerce program of work and a copy of the 1956 annual report of the Community Chest Red Feather agencies A sound-and-motion picture print of "24 Hours of Progress" produced by the Oil Information Committee of the American Petroleum Institute and furnished by Sunray Mid-Continent Oil Co. A can of Tulsa manufactured motor oil furnished by D-X Sunray Oil Co. A copy of the official Tulsarama! program, Oklahoma semi-centennial program and a Tulsa I.T. historical volume produced around 1957 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. If that person is dead, the car is to be awarded to his or her heirs. "

Buried cars
Here in the North Country in the late sixties through the seventies 40's & 50's cars (Pontiac seemed to be the most popular) were routinely buried as a "complete residential septic system". Saved the cost of tank, leach field materials and got rid of the rusting hulk behind Uncle Joe's barn to boot. Run the soil line through a vent window, backfill, rake and seed.
The incredible thing is that these "septic systems" are only now, forty years later, beginning to fail, well beyond the design life of a conventional system! Yankee thrift at its finest. Cheers, Jim

I hear old VW beetles make a pretty good septic tank, too.
