There was one video where some old guy who was around when it was burried said that the wrap was lying the same way it was in 1957.
I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday and this guy supposedly remembers what that cover looked like 50 years ago?

There are many people who remember minute details about special occurances/things.
I remember lots of details about our 1956 Olds 98.

The one thing I notice that makes me hold on to hope, the wrinkles in the plastic from vaccum sealing it still look tight...

I bet you remember how much you paid for your first Mopar though.
Total different magnitude of events.
And remembering what I paid for my first Mopar is a completely different magnitude than remembering what the wrinkles on the front seat cover looked like the day I drove it home.

I dunno about it being vacuum sealed... Check out this video: Buried 57 Plymouth Here are some images captured from it:      A few observations: - it doesn't look like the bottom part of the cover is big enough to completely cover the underside. - the car was lowered into the tomb without a cover on it, which means that the cover is a 2-piece affair, which likely couldn't be sealed properly onsite anyways. The cover looks like it was hanging loose on the bottom. - the cosmoline or whatever is being sprayed on the outside of the cover... that ain't gonna do much to protect the body. - in the last pic, the cover isn't drawn tightly over the body, which means it isn't vacuum sealed. It looks like they were trying to protect the paint from 50 years of dust and dirt, not from sitting in a pool of water.  As a side note, check out how the skid is bowing as it's being lowered into the tomb... do ya think it'll be strong enough to lift it out after 50 years of rusting??

But also, wasn't the car placed in the tomb and removed several times for publicity shots? I can't imagine them just putting the car in the hole and putting a tarp over it.
From the video, it doesn't look like they're spraying the car, but the top edge of the cement prepping for the lid.

Can you imagine the excitement back then, when everything was changing (for the better) all the time, and when they had so many great things to look forward too... I can hear the conversations now....Daddy, do you think in 2007 there will be 50,000 people standing around watching it come out? Will they be filming movies of it with their little hand help devices called cell phones???? Nonsense son...phones NEED WIRES  John... do you think in 2007 Chrysler will be owned by the Germans? What are you...a spy?  Bob....I bet in 2007 Japan will have the number one selling vehicle in North America....I'm not buying anything made in Asia
