I was in the third grade when they buried this car and all us kids at our school even though we lived about fifty miles away were given a chance in this drawing, wish I could remember the number I guessed though. What pleasant memories this brings back.

3. I wish I did remember, needless to say I eagerly await this unearthing

My first new car was a '67 Belvedere two door hard top, burgandy with black interior, V8 with three on the tree. $2267 bucks straight off the showroom floor. I had just only turned 19 years old and I was so happy I had to stop several times on the way home to let my ass laugh. or thats how I heard one of my old friends tell it years later. payments of 72.00 bucks a month.

2. The contents of a woman's purse = cracked me up!

Guess they viewed the 'little woman' as a spaced out, drugged up, irresponsible smoker!!

....The contents of a women's purse, including bobby pins, a bottle of tranquilizers, cigarettes and an unpaid parking ticket, were added to the glove compartment of the car shortly before burial.

Other items included in the time capsule were:

10 gallons of gasoline and 5 quarts of oil
A Douglas Aircraft Co. aerial map of airport facilities and legend
Statement from Tulsa council of Churches and prayer for greatest good next 50 years a recently completed history of churches in Tulsa and a directory of the present churches
Statement from board of education - historical data related to 50 years of education in Tulsa and copies of "School Life" all-high school publication issued by Tulsa high schools each month
Statements from Mayor and Chamber of Commerce officials
Flags which have been flown over the national capitol, state capitol and in the county and city
Other aerial photos of the area
Statement from Tulsa Trades and Labor Council
Statements from all former mayors of the city - their record of service and civic accomplishments in the city, state and nationally.

As part of the "Tulsarama!" festivities, citizens of Tulsa were asked to guess what the population of Tulsa would be in the year 2007. The guesses were then recorded on microfilm and sealed in a steel container buried with the car. When the car and artifacts are excavated, the person whose guess is closest to Tulsa's 2007 population is to be awarded the Belvedere....
