Tulsa's Buried Belvedere: Official Documentary final trailer

Check out the official site: belvederedvd.com

June 15th 1957, a brand new Plymouth Belvedere was buried along with a time capsule outside the courthouse in downtown Tulsa, OK, as part of Oklahoma's semi-centennial, and the Tulsarama! festivities. For 50 years they sat buried, but in June of 2007, Tulsarama! returned and the story continued.

Avcom Productions of Tulsa, OK, followed the journey to unearth Miss Belvedere over several months, capturing exclusive footage all along the way. This look back at one of the most intriguing time capsules every created will include 50 year old footage from the original 1957 Tulsarama!, as well as interviews with the burial participants and observers, the unearthing and unveiling from June 2007, and all the exciting events that surrounded the return of Miss Belvedere.

not much to do out west is there...

neat story, seems like the 1950s were more futuristic than today...

i saw it get unrevealed on t.v and my uncle works in the building right beside it

It was a great idea but poorly executed. It was nothing but a rusting worthless hulk when they pulled out. Had they put it in a metal container & welded it shut it might had had a chance. Instead it looked like it came up from the bottom of a lake

that's cool but i don't think the plan is to get it running again. its a piece of History, a sign of the times and how they changed in 50 years. I heard it will remain as-is and put into a car museum. I agree with ya on Plymouth (and now Pontiac) that they made good cars and then got ousted. I owned a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere and have a certain reverance for the car even though by today's standards it was a great , big hunk of junk. fun to drive and looked good on Cragers.

Pretty much yes. Some of the car's technology was ahead of it's time. It had Power Steering, Torsion Air Ride Suspension, Power Breaks, Push Button Automatic, etc. If you've seen the old commercials of the car, Plymouth's slogan was "Suddenly, It's 1960" because the design was far more advanced compared to what GM and Ford produced in that year. It won the award for best economy car in 1957.
