Miss Belvedere is one particular car rather than a model line: a two-tone desert gold and sand dune white 1957 Plymouth Belvedere sport coupe that was sealed on June 15, 1957 in an underground concrete vault on the grounds of the Tulsa courthouse as a fifty year time capsule for the Tulsarama celebrations of Oklahoma's fiftieth year of statehood. It was to be given to whoever came closest to guessing Tulsa's population in 2007. When the vault was opened on June 14, 2007, it held about 2,000 gallons of standing water and the car was too corroded to start. The winning guess went to Raymond Humbertson, who had died in 1979, so the car passed to his surviving relatives. After years of stabilization it was accepted by the Historic Auto Attractions Museum in Roscoe, Illinois, where it has been shown largely unrestored.
