The Plymouth was wrapped in protective materials and lowered into a concrete vault, which was supposed to withstand even a nuclear attack. It lay there for 50 years. On june 13, 2007 , the vault was opened, and the car was raised as thousands of people watched. The organizer of the event said: "Ladies and gentlemen, l present you Miss Belvedere." Unfortunately the tomb was unable to protect the car from moistune, and the vintage vehicle was covered in rust. The contents of a "typical" woman's handbag in the glove compartment looked like a lump of rotted leather. The microfilm that recorded the names of the contestants wasn't found. There was a bit of disappointment that the items were not in better condition. However,some items inside the time capsule were in good shape-they included a U.S. flag and some historical document, such as aerial maps of the city and postcards.
