Yeah, storage don't do it. Drive 'em!

"Looks like they did a poor job of protecting the car .What a mess and I'm not even a Mopar man. Glad I decided not to make the trip"

Actually considering the time frame, I think they did a pretty good job. Remember, that was 1957. The year Sputnik went up, we had no space program, let alone the technology that we have today. We didn't even have plastic bags at the grocery stores then, and no computers to analyze anything unless you were part of the DOD. They probably used the best methods and materials they had available at that time. Probably lucky they didn't rely on cardboard and freezer wrap.

Man, I was 11 years old in 57. Some interest in girls, very little in cars, mostly in shooting pool at the firehouse. I couldn't wrap a present, let alone think of wrapping a car to last another 50 years.

Just think of how well you'd be preserved 50 years in a underground vault. Pretty musty I'd guess.
