Yea Mike P. These updates and photos are appreciated. It's too bad that the car decayed to the extent that it did. I sure wish they would have started with a better plan before they burried it.

A real shame, bet the guy who came up with this idea is going to lose his job. Oh wait.......he's probably dead by now. 
What they should have done was erect an above ground crypt, like they use in New Orleans to bury people. The one they used was destined to fail, it was like a swimming pool with a lid on it. Even swimming pools leak water out after a period of time. What were they thinking?
I guess the event was the thing though. It seems everybody had a great time and accepts what happened to the car as fate and Mother Nature.

I wonder if the weight of the water "pressed" the cover against the exterior pieces and prevented the outside from rusting?

35, the car was burried in 1957 as part of a time capsule to be opened in 2007. Is that what you are asking?
