Tulsa Belvedere Unearthed

[MrRobbyrocket]

Thats what happened to the real Christine, they didnt crush it, that was for movie effect. In actuality they buried the car for some future soul to unleash its evil again. Its the beginning plotline for Christine II (2012). The city sells it to some urban kids who restore it and trick it out for charity but then it starts killing again.

[foxfoobar]

Muaha, a mercedes benz would've made it! LOL!

...sorry, just trolling...

[sirmugman]

just love this part! the old flag ans the note and everything

[cladimere]

OMG! Old lady sounds like Mr.Garrison! Awesome!

[raecra]

sem comentarios,puta tontisse.

[AncientToast]

Why dig it up so soon, I mean we knew what kind of crap was in there anyway...I say they should have left it in there for another 150 years. But oh yeah, by then it would have rusted completely away and been in the ground water.

[farmorethan]

My spanish teacher put in the ladys purse contents

[DrBuzz0]

It's uncertain what caused this because the time capsule should have been air and water tight but they think it was damaged by careless construction in the area in the 1970's.

In any case, that car is definitely not beyond the point of being restorable. It's got surface rust, but it can be cleaned up. It's all there. A lot of work, but it's not gone by any means. Nice car.

[jadeandblackkittys]

@DrBuzz0 It's so typical of the 1970's! The construction men were probably all stoned!! lol!

[LinkMyBoy]

This really is a perfect example of american engineering, dont expect it to last more than a few years

[McVaio]

@LinkMyBoy

Put some other car under water for 50 years.

[LinkMyBoy]

My car has been underwater for years

[McVaio]

@LinkMyBoy

My Chryslers haven't. They are in very good condition.

[Uzztoob]

what a bafooooon!

[12344bam]

y didnt they just leave the car in the show room or in a barn some were and not drove it or any thing it would of still been in show room shape

[vwbusssesareforever]

3:30 sec.? What is that they wanted to find? That guy just about blew it when he said the 46 star flag, it's 48!

[hvychvy383]

R.I.P Boyd

[JME272]

Tulsa could have had such a shinning moment, but they blew it! 1957....you could not have made it water tight? I bought tickets to the event and did not even go. Tulsa, beautiful city, but not happy with you.....OKC rules!!!!

[dasenuff]

46 stars? 48 doofus!

[farmorethan]

47...

[dasenuff]

48......6 by 8 stars....48 !

[farmorethan]

i thought it would be the 47 star flag since oklahoma was the 47th state

[dasenuff]

isee ..but truely ohio didnt become a state til 1958...although most people thought it was already a state....... ok was a state already in 58

[happywhenimsad]

man that guy needs to calm the fuck down!

[vragamuffin]

Only the bloody yanks would pull a dumb stunt like that.

And fail so miserably.

What a waste of a perfectly good car.

[MS85ToyotaCrown]

Pitty the rest of the car is shit.

[Railer505]

Well in case you didn't know Boyd Coddington the commentator in this video has just passed away.

[Thirdgen83]

What's that have to do with anything?...

[spunky1oo1]

waste of a lovely car !!!!!!!

[rokbom]

46 star flag...what's this guy smoking, it was 48 in 1957!!

[MMiiKKee95]

its a shame the car wasnt in as good of shape as the other stuff

[kessensholland]

Funny people, those Americans.

[Thirdgen83]

Not all Americans are like that...

[200092]

"By golly" Thats great

[sufkiller]

Poor poor car. Left to be forgotten for 50 years!!! They need to fix the old rust covered girl and drive her!

[moyadapne]

'They've just wrapped up the unveiling'.

[DonkoStock]

my spanish put in some of stuff like the lighter and bobbypins plus some the purse and the other contents

[safemouse]

I so wanted them to drop a plate.

[Celeon999A]

Good that at least the capsule survived :)

[LordBicen]

Maybe Hoffa's in the trunk. hehe J/k

[xl50bremen]

They have to burrie a cadillac escalade this year an got it out in 50 years!!

[benzlover55]

poor car. why did they do this?

[Hornman64]

That MC moron didn't even know there were 48 states in the Union at that time, he said 46. Too bad that car was ruined. However, back then they usually rusted out in 2-3 yrs anyway. Poorly made. Water got in to the headlight bezels and rusted thru quickly.

[gizzann]

the guys in the 50s didnt know water would get in it could have happen anywhere from Maine to New Mexico...so quite puttin down Tulsa and Oklahoma and America the stadium was prly booked months befor anyone knew water was in the vault..it was just a present Tulsa wanted to give itself and in the end it didnt turn out as planned....that all

[BubiGTR]

retarded nation

[DeathFromAbove1985]

if you check th epics on the site, you can see a small part of the front bumper that they cleaned up and the chrome was still perfect. it's just rusty looking mud for the most part...like it's on the windows, and windows don't rust so it's clearly just very falking dirty!

[purebrediassureu]

Officials took different precautions for the car in the 1998 time capsule. Encased in modern plastics and stored in a vault above ground, a 1998 Plymouth Prowler was entombed at Centennial Park. The Prowler's time capsule won't be opened until 2048. Instead of being lowered into an underground vault like the Belvedere, the Prowler was driven into an above-ground mausoleum, they added an inert gas then sealed it shut and partly covered with dirt.

[Tcamp95818]

I dont think it is as bad as it looks. Mud and water damage,but if you look closely it looks like surface rust. If a car is underwater with low air it will rust but not to the point of cancer like it will in the air. We will find out friday when they tell the owner.

[marcogatu]

that car remember me really Christine,the evil car of a movie

[pennaste04]

Very cool. I wish they did it nowadays too so like 2050 someone could unveil it.

[towncar16]

my grandpa had a grand fury which is basicly the same thing but man thats asome buried for 50 years pnly if the hole was water proof owell they should do this more often

[lucnovo]

As a brazilian, I´m astonished! That´s the cult of a generation. The 50´s are great in many ways but, this car is a masterpiece, and deserves to be restored. I´m thinking, maybe a museum should be built to celebrate this moment. Congrats americans (a rare thing) and oklahomans for this brilliant idea!

[84L69TA]

Hey creaturebotman, its a 57 Belvedere...not a 57 Chevy. Ya stupid fuck

[chrisiscool2230]

well said

[default99telecom]

Some boys play with cars, some with dolls....With a handle of "Creaturebotman" his would be the latter.

[creaturebotman]

suck my dick all of your :-)

[thebluemaggot]

we would but we cant find it. Its to small to see.

[creaturebotman]

thebluemaggot, you wait this long to reply? Tulsa is full of inbred clowns like you. You must be one of them. So you are looking for a small dick. Aha! That just proves you are a faggot...FAGGOT!

The 50 year old capsule was a grand idea that ended up as a fiasco. Deal with it!

[thebluemaggot]

Wow you really are full of yourself. I just found this vid a few hours ago dip shit. But calling other people faggot while inviting them to suck the pathetic excuse for manhood between your legs is a bit hypocritical isnt it?

[creaturebotman]

thebluemaggot, You are right. Just kiss my ass and we will call it the day.

[thebluemaggot]

nice combeack! I gotta respect that one, but unfortunatley I dont do requests.

[creaturebotman]

:-)

Excerpted Lryics from Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y." Standing tough under stars and stripes We can tell This dream's in sight You've got to admit it At this point in time that it's clear The future looks bright A just machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free

[silverstein911]

Keep the peasants amused with mindless dribble, and make lots of money in the process. Way to go. America the best golden cage in the world!

[TrishLester]

If the saga of the 50-year-old car interests you, check out the title track from my new CD, "Plymouth Belvedere," released just last month (country tune about an embarrassing old car). Can you relate? Please pass the word along, particularly to any radio stations in Oklahoma that should be playin' the song. Google "Trish Lester" and you can hear the song and read lyrics on my music page. And, of course, the CD is for sale, too. --- Trish Lester, Singer/Songwriter, Santa Clarita, California

[marciopalilo]

Unbelievable!!!

[creaturebotman]

50 freaken years! people from all over the world flew in to see this. People paid big bucks just to have a seat in the stadium. World wide coverage! Mega pre-production light camera and action!. Now here it is ladies and gentlemen! A 50 year old pile of rusty ole 57 chevey that you can see at any ole dump.... Gotcha! and thaks for your money...Welcome to TULSA now get the F$%K outta here!

[default99telecom]

Creaturbotman, Not a car guy are you? Go play with your dolls and let the adults speak.

[creaturebotman]

Default99telecom, Nope. I have a good ole Korean made car. So why don't you play with my balls and suck mah dick!

[default99telecom]

Creaturefreak, you have the same genitalia as your barbie collection...Korean car..hahahahahaha! Figures!!

[creaturebotman]

hahahah good one faggot. Now go back down to Tulsa and cry with the rest of those clowns. Don't forget...Suck my dick and lick my shit dripping as before you go.

[pmw14282]

So what did people guess then??

[hallsflat]

They had the technology as far as plastics etc. are concerned back then. They half assed it. I doubt the people who designed that tomb are alive, if they were they would need an ass kicking. Boyd Coddington, what a schmuck. They should have had some locals doing all that stuff. If I was a Tulsa resident I would be pissed.

[spangelosf43]

I love how he said "46" star flag---48 not, 46. Sheesh

[pmw14282]

I was thinking Alaska, Hawaii, what the hell were the other 2 after 1957??

[maxtransam]

cris damericain vous les avez les idee

[ycdelmir]

How 'bout somebody posting the entire 40 minute News on 6 broadcast of the unveiling? The KOTV video of it is not working. I know it would have to be done in several segments on here but I'm dying to see the whole thing. Somebody must have it.

[PintoPopProductions]

Sorry about that, it was about 20 minutes into the broadcast when I realized "I should be recording this." It was a lot of pomp and circumstance and Boyd Coddington getting free sdvertising for his stupid TV show. They also had commercial breaks about every 5 minutes. The actual unveiling itself is on YouTube, I've seen it.

[derron70]

i think this is funny. tulsa got a major slap in the face. lol, the closer to uneathing it , greed set in they were charging people to come and see it come up. anything to attract money they did. and it came back and bit them in the ass!!!! fucking hilarious. i live here TULSA SUCKS!!!

[DerAdventurer]

History! Life from the 1950's able to be smelled and seen in 2007! Amazing! Air in 3 of the 4 tires! Original air of 1957, no leaks, ladies and gentlemen!

This car is a hero, considering the conditions it's been through!

American iron continents over wheels. A shame they're no longer made... lol bet a current car, fullfiled of electronics wouldn't go through it so entire.

[arsenalm8t]

Def intersting, was a time when Americans actually liked being American and recognized evil unlike today. Where some Amreicans even poloticins make us out to be the bad guys.

[ford46power]

it is interesting ,but not worth all the hype.a waste of time

[matsgull]

Thanks for posting this clip. When it comes to building cars, Americans were masters.

[sophiegromit]

Were, yes, 40 years ago! American cars now are pieces of SHIT! I'd rather drive Japanese or German ANY DAY than be seen in a U.S. made piece of garbage with low mileage planned obsolescence.

[707320i]

For foreign viewers that do not understand, Oklahoma is America's Khazakistan

[JOHNWAYNE1920]

I noticed you posted this everywhere. You know, if we just educated you camal jockeys, we wouldn't have all these problems.

[default99telecom]

They have mega resort casinos in Khazakistan?

[sophiegromit]

LMAO!!! Oklahoma was where the movie 'DELIVERANCE' was shot! Or should have been anyway!

[LordBicen]

Deliverance was filmed in G.A. before they damned up the lake. While i'll agree the stage people need presenting lessons, statements like yours are just retarded. Do some diggin before making an idiot out of yourself next time, ok?

[sophiegromit]

"do some diggin'"! LOL! It's "digging" you hick bastard. You Okies love to rape the English language.

[LordBicen]

It's called "Slang" and FYI im not from Oklahoma. Kinda Figured you for a Wench with a name like Sophie. Thanks for proving me right.

[Waldemar3]

Chill...It's just American slang. Damn. As long as one puts an apostrophe at the end, it's okay. Some of us actually have fun with language manipulation (WE created it; WE have the right to use it how we will!) and aren't bound to it like suckers. :-p

[patsagainstrats]

Did they find Mary Jo Kopechne?

[jofawe]

haha.. a car thats built in the US in the 50´s CAN´T be good after 50 years in a "time capsel" .. only stupid americans could buy such a thing :P

[ford46power]

hey stupid it sat in water since the 50s.i dont think those ugly ass swedish cars would fair any better.

[jimmy396jimmy]

learn to spell......

[anilingus]

Does every American have to shout all the time?

[56Packman]

Perhaps they don't teach history in Oklahoma like the rest of the US--"THE 46 STAR FLAG!"

There wuz 48 states in '57 cousin

[michael7762359]

Heartbreaking. From the photos of the car it must have been completely submerged for years.

[creaturebotman]

Just a crying shame ...a crying shame I tell you!

[ChicosAddict]

I agree with Jerod in France. Too many commercials!! Sickening enough how this special moment was "slopped together" by the committee, but to SELL AD TIME .... shameless!!!

[creaturebotman]

Yes, I ageee. it made a bad situation worst by making it look Yes, I agree. It made a bad situation worst by making it look contrived. That pulling out the American flag really show how nervous they were "Hurry...unveil the flag". Fact is, the Flag sort of save the day. Still, this is an example of a mega fiasco. It was a marvalous idea but the city folk blew it.

[sophiegromit]

Tulsa's past and 'heritage' is mired in violence and death, given their race riots! It's a shame most have a 'short memory' about this black chapter for Tulsa!

[default99telecom]

Yes we try to forget how violent the blacks were (and still are) in Tulsa

[sophiegromit]

PUH-LEEEZE! That's why your state jails and penitentiaries are filled to the brim with caucasian felons!

[default99telecom]

Sophie needs her midol and clorets

[sophiegromit]

Just to show how utterly fucking stupid you are, why do you assume i'm a 'she'?

[default99telecom]

Colonel Potters horse was named Sophie on MASH, and you post comments like a woman with severe case of Acne and PMS.

[sophiegromit]

LOL! Sounds like your kind of women!

[default99telecom]

Nope, My women drive American Machines and don't have hatred towards the USA... nor have horse names like Sophie....Sophie!!

[sophiegromit]

Your women are uneducated, toothless, skanky cocksucking whores that drive piece of shit American cars, and are named Bertha or Betty! BTW, most of the world 'hates' the USA these days! Bush is a liar, and he's left Iraq in ruins. Most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi Arabian, not Iraqis! Sheesh!

[default99telecom]

Sophie Your rectal itch can be remedied, but first you must pull your thumb out and confess you are recovering from your lesbian breakup. Once you experience a man, you will be normal.

[Jarod99]

I watch from France too many damm comercialles!

[screamerican55]

dame shame about the car. but there is alot of people that can make it into a

dream!

[mznxb9872]

What a shame that water got in. I think they should at least clean it up as best they can, then display it. Its too bad Boyd Coddington had a negative attitude right from the start. He would have ruined the car anyway, if it had been salvageable, by putting in a huge aftermarket engine and 22" rims and pimping it out.

[Krammeleniekie]

You're right, Boyd Coddington doesn't know shit about restoring cars. He truly hasn't got a clue.

[Adam122183]

This was pretty funny.On the news the guy and the woman that seemed to have most to do with it, truly thought a car buried in the ground in a concrete vault for 50 years, would be driveable, not underwater, and in good shape.Its always nice to see idiots like that get such surprises

[2491tj]

shame the guy seemed more interested in the printed stuff rather than the car!!
