The Time Capsule was buried in June 15, 1957 as part of Tulsa's Golden
Jubilee celebration. 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 a new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Sport
Coupe. When the car and artifacts are excavated in 2007, the person whose
guess is closest to Tulsa's 2007 population is to be awarded the Belvedere. If
that person is dead, the car is to be awarded to his or her heirs.
They win a brand new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe in the year 2007, a
$100 trust fund accruing interest until the year 2007, 5 gallon can of gasoline,
a jar of Oklahoma crude oil, and in the glovebox, fourteen bobby pins, a ladies
compact plastic rain cap, several combs, a tube of lipstick, pack of gum, facial
tissues, $2.73 in bills and coins and a pack of cigarettes with matches. The
car's glove compartment contains a parking ticket (unpaid!) and a bottle of
tranquilizers.
Post a picture of yourself with the plaque or better yet with the opened time
capsule in 2007.
