a 5-gallon can of leaded gasoline, which went for 24 cents a gallon in those days

Wish the good old days would come back!

An old guy I work with was talking about that a few weeks ago. I figured there wouldn't be much left of it when they dug it up. Moisture is a bitch.

Here are a couple of links .. the first one is the official site .. the second has a lot of video of the ceremonies, including pulling the car out of the vault, and pulling everything out of the car.

A Plymouth Belvedere? There were several, more popular cars in 1957 than a Plymouth Belvedere. However, I guess nothing captures the 50's like huge chrome and big fins ...

I can remember filling up my Hodaka Wombat at $0.33 a gallon ...
