Miss Belvedere
Miss Belvedere is the nickname given to a new desert gold and sand dune white two-tone 1957 Plymouth Belvedere sport coupe, with only four miles on the odometer, that was sealed for 50-years in a time capsule vault below the ground on the Tulsa City courthouse site on June 15, 1957. The car was sealed in the underground concrete vault as part of the city of Tulsa's "Tulsarama" Golden Jubilee Week festivities celebrating Oklahoma's 50th year of statehood.〔 Miss Belvedere was intended to be a prize awarded upon the vehicle's unearthing to the individual, or their descendant, who came nearest to guessing Tulsa's population in 2007. A second matching Plymouth Belvedere was also awarded in a separate contest a few days prior to Miss Belvedere's burial in the vault.
Miss Belvedere was (unearthed ) June 14, 2007 during the state's centennial celebration and was publicly unveiled on June 15, 2007.〔In line with the Cold War realities of late 1950s America, the concrete enclosure was advertised as having been built to withstand a nuclear attack. The enclosure, however, was not airtight and allowed water to leak in, which caused significant damage to the vehicle.〔(TulsaWorld: ''Buried Belvedere vault full of water'' ) 〕
Efforts were made to stabilize the vehicle's conditions and some suspension repairs were made with the hope that the car could be placed in a museum. After being stored for seven years, in which time numerous museums declined the offer of the car as a display piece, in 2015 it found a home at the Historic Auto Attractions Museum in Roscoe, Illinois.〔
