Hundreds watched Friday as a crane lifted a muddy package from a hole in the courthouse lawn: a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere buried to celebrate Oklahoma’s 50 years of statehood.
The wrapped car — a gold-and-white two-door hardtop — appeared brown and red as it came out of the hole.
The car spent the last half-century covered in three layers of protective material and encased in a 12-by-20-foot concrete vault, supposedly tough enough to withstand a nuclear attack.
Excavators found water halfway up on the car’s fenders and evidence that water could have been to the top of the vault at one point, said Art Couch, who is heading up the unearthing project.
The first news of the water crushed event organizers, with some wiping away tears as heavy rain fell.
«It was very disappointing,» said event producer Kelly McElroy. «I think we probably anticipated there would be some water; after 50 years you don’t know what you’re going to get.
The car was placed on a flatbed truck so it could be unwrapped, spruced up and officially unveiled Friday evening at the Tulsa Convention Center. Spectators packed the streets to glimpse its journey.
Whether the car will start was unknown. Those who gathered to watch it being pulled out of the ground did not seem to care.
Also buried with it were 10 gallons of gasoline — in case internal combustion engines became obsolete by 2007 — a case of beer, and the contents of a typical woman’s handbag placed in the glove compartment: 14 bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, a lipstick, a pack of gum, tissues, a pack of cigarettes, matches and $2.43.
There was also a spool of microfilm that recorded the entries of a contest to determine who would win the car: the person who guessed the closest of what Tulsa’s population would be in 2007 — 382,457 — would win.
That person, or his or her heirs, will get the car and a $100 savings account, worth about $1,200 today with interest.

His mother and attorney were in tears as they announced the decision . Wilson served over 2 years of 10-year sentence for oral sex with underage teen.
Monroe County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson also amended Wilson’s felony conviction to a misdemeanor without the requirement that he register as a sex offender.
Attorney B.J. Bernstein, begged “enough” as she appealed to a judge Wednesday to free him from prison, arguing that his 10-year prison sentence and inclusion on the state’s sex offender registry is grossly disproportionate and violates the Constitution.
Hey, you got a problem with how “The Sopranos” wound up? Take it up with Christopher, if you dare.“I think it’s a great ending. It’s a good way to go out,” said Michael Imperioli, who played Tony’s nephew, until he got whacked this season.
Imperioli and fellow cast members told reporters they were pleased with the finale as they walked the red carpet at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Sunday.All nine, including Arthur Nascarella (the construction company honcho Carlo), were out of character, technically speaking. But it was sometimes hard on Sunday to see where television left off and reality set in. Gandolfini and Imperioli, both in sunglasses, looked every bit the silent gangsters. They let the rest of the ensemble do the talking, and Gandolfini was first of the gang to retreat from the late-afternoon crush and disappear inside Hard Rock Live — where dinner capped off with a chocolate-bullet-riddled cake awaited.
The characteristically shy James Gandolfini, who played New Jersey mob boss Tony, was mum on his thoughts on the ending. He sported a beard and sunglasses and was sweating in the muggy South Florida weather as he smiled and waved to the large crowd of fans that gathered for his send-off.
Lorraine Bracco’s character, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, didn’t appear in the series finale. Melfi abruptly terminated Tony’s therapy in last week’s episode.
Dip Set Byrdgang member Stack Bundles was killed early Monday morning (June 11) in his hometown of Far Rockaway in the New York City borough of Queens.
He was shot outside of his home.
It has not yet been confirmed how exactly it happened but according to DJ Envy when Stack Bundles was returning to his home in Far Rockway Queens early this morning he was gunned down while entering the apartment building. Envy also reported that Stack was seen at New York nightclub Stereo as late as 4:30 a.m. on Monday.
The rapper first began attracting major attention as a member of DJ Clue’s Desert Storm family. His work on freestyles alongside more established MCs, such as then-camp members Fabolous and Joe Budden, let the scene know immediately he could hold his own weight.

Ismail Kadare is customarily hailed as Albania’s greatest writer. This is probably true, but since few other writers from that isolated nation are even known to the rest of the world, it’s not all that much of a compliment.
Since few readers and even fewer critics know Albanian, we know Kadare through his translators. And the word indeed has to be doubly plural here since David Bellos has translated into English the novella and two stories that make up “Agamemnon’s Daughter” not from the original Albanian but from translations into French by two different hands.
The magnificent achievement of all three parts of “Agamemnon’s Daughter” is to evoke so much in the way of myth and historical inevitability and still leave the reader more than ever convinced of the unquenchable resilience of the human spirit.
Arielle Newman, a cross-country runner at Notre Dame Academy on Staten Island, died after her body absorbed high levels of methyl salicylate, an anti-inflammatory found in sports creams such as Bengay and Icy Hot, the New York City medical examiner said Friday.
A medical examiner blamed the 17-year-old track star’s death on the use of too much muscle cream, the kind used to soothe aching legs after exercise.
The medical examiner’s spokeswoman, Ellen Borakove, said the teen used “topical medication to excess.” She said it was the first time that her office had reported a death from using a sports cream.
Newman, who garnered numerous track awards, died April 13. She had gone to a party the night before, then returned home and spent hours talking with her mother.
