Hind site certainly is 20/20 and clearly there were better ways. However, who's to say if it was in a crypt above ground a semi wouldn't run off the road and crush it, or a tornado hit it? Or, if it were in a warehouse, the warehouse may have burned, etc. In a way, it's almost more exciting that it's been in the water...if it were perfectly dry, we'd be expecting a new but perhaps dusty 57 Plymouth. Now, we don't know what to expect. People store their cars under trees, in garages, in driveways, and in the woods...but NO ONE stores their car in a concrete pit underground with rising and falling water! Who knows what it will look like.
I am very curious as to how the rust/mud got on TOP of the car. The water in there must have been turbulent to lift the rust from below to above so it could settle on the car. If it was calm/motionless water, you would think the sediment and rust would all be at the bottom of the vault. If water was rushing in from above, that could explain how mud settled on top I guess.
