Destination 1957 Plymouth Time Capsule

Destination 1957 Plymouth Time Capsule

The slide of the week is on vacation while I’m on a classic car road trip to TULSA for the unearthing of a 1957 Plymouth after 50 years of being buried in a time capsule. Beginning Sunday, June 10th I will be blogging about the trip which begins in Las Vegas where I will marry my friends Bruce and Suzanne in the neon graveyard. Check out my new “CHARLES TRAVELS” blog.

    I do not know where you find these photos. But love what you have done with the 50s and 60s. It was more colorful then. Good luck in your travels. Have amazing adventures.

    I was amazed when I stumbled upon the beautiful photo of the ‘56 Eldorado Biarritz parked near the incredible palms in Southern California. I would very much enjoying seeing the other photos of the area in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s! By the way, I have a ‘66 Fleetwood Eldorado (convertible).

  4. Greg McDonnell Says:

    I too am eagerly awaiting the ‘exhuming’ of the ‘57 Plymouth in Tuscon next week! I hope it receives a lot of coverage in the media!

  5. Robert Conner Says:

    FYI, the building in the background is the YMCA residence. It has 172 rooms for men. It’s still there, but I don’t know for how much longer, since downtown Tulsa is being almost completely rebuilt.
    If it’s torn down, it’s very unlikely that it will be replaced.

    Dont underestimate the power of the plastic and the canvas that was guaranteed to seal out even radiation, the cracks in the vault are probably not more than 20 years old that car will be restorable! despite the fact there may be catfish swimming inside it
