What do you get when you bury a brand new Plymouth Belvedere in concrete on a front lawn for 50 years?

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, it’s called a historical rust bucket that would have been worth $50,000.00 today!

Water, concrete, electricity, and metals get along like a house on fire – wish they’d known that in 1957 and that plastic wrap was widely available then!

 

However, the real cheapskate news is that the winner of the centennial celebrations rusted junk ride got a $100 savings bond; and, Humbertson can’t collect because he died in 1979!

 

 This same story shows another aspect of migration in life – the entire originally Oklahoma-based Humbertson family had gone into the diaspora as far as West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland within 50 years. 

 

My own family – counting only up to the first and second cousins – has extended as far afield as Europe and Africa, apart from the US.
