Several people have posted highlights on YouTube of the raising of the 1957 Belvedere from its 50-year-old vault in Tulsa and the subsequent unveiling later that night.

Here’s an excerpt from last night’s telecast when the car’s wrapping was removed:
I was just 8 years old when this beautiful car was buried. I didn’t know anything about it at the time. And I probably wouldn’t have cared much then. At 17 years old, I did own a 1957 Belvedere. I remember it was maroon, with a white top, and white interior. I did love that car. I almost broke my heart to see such a thing of beauty in the condition that this “baby” was in. I do hope that whoever won this car will restore her to her original beauty.
Here are some high resolution pictures of the car and the items that were stored inside it. Also includes updates and a full list of the guesses from the population contest held in 1957 to win the car.
