Old Cars has everything for the vintage car enthusiast

Vega time machine unearthed in good condition 1975 Chevy Vega unearthed from time capsule after 50 years. It was in surprisingly good condition! In case you missed the introduction of the 1975 Chevy Vega, one has just been dug up in Seward, Nebr. It hasn't been started or driven, nor touched by human hands, for 50 years. The brand new, bright yellow, four-passenger 1975 Vega coupe was chosen to represent the state of the automobile industry in a time capsule that was constructed, filled with a variety of items and sealed, not to be opened for 50 years. That time has come, and during Seward's Fourth of July celebration the treasures of the crypt went on display to the public for the first time. In the middle of the 20th century, sealing printed records and small souvenir items into the cornerstone of a new building under construction was common. Occasionally, that practice expanded into building time capsules in which to preserve larger items, not to be opened until a certain length of time had passed, usually 50 years.
