RickH-

We tried to seal the vault, we really tried! But if you could have just seen where that vault was, hunkered up next to our courthouse, right next to a busy street, with lawn sprinklers above it and storm water runoff drains right near it, you might come to the conclusion that it never stood a chance. By the way, we buried another care here in Tulsa, a Plymouth Prowler (keeping with the Plymouth theme for some strange reason.) That one was "buried" in an above ground vault that they threw some dirt and landscaping on and made it look pretty. Supposed to be opened up in another 50 years or so. So I guess I might be around to see how that one comes out... hopefully better than Miss Belvedere! It was a huge disappointment to us here in Tulsa that it came out so lousy. But it was still neat to see. Stunk to high heaven, though. They put it in the middle of our convention center with a bunch of other classic cars, and it smelled the joint up!

I look forward to seeing it ! I'll only be about 106 but with the projected advances with this new healthcare it shouldn't be a problem ! That is of course, if it doesn't kill me first ! :drink3:
