Even if we don't have a national meet I plan on going.

Here is the note and sent followed by the response.

My Note

Mr Boudiette.
My name is Richard Ware. I recently ran across an article on the internet about a 1957 Plymouth which was buried during Tulsa's 1957 Golden Jubilee week. I understand it is to be unearthed in 2007. I am a member of the Prowler Owners Association. The Plymouth Prowler was the last of the Plymouth line to be manufactured. Our organization holds annual get together in different cities around the country. These events usually attract anywhere from 80 to 110 Prowler owners. I thought that in 2007 it might be interesting and fun to hold an annual event in Tulsa to coincide with the unearthing of this Plymouth time capsule. I was wondering if you could provide any information about this event. What kind of activities or festivities are being planned if any. Also any additional information as to other attractions in the Tulsa area would also be greatly appreciated.

You can contact me at this email address and also at wareprowler@aol.com

Thank You So Much
Rich Ware

The Response

Rich,

Thanks so much for writing! Yes, we’re handling the unearthing of the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere. It will happen on June 16, 2007, which is a Saturday. Tentatively, we’re planning on doing some type of parade immediately following the opening of the time capsule, followed by a weekend car show featuring other classic Plymouths and some of their Dodge and Chrysler cousins. We hope the show will feature classic and new cars. We’re in touch with the Plymouth Owners Club too and they’re planning to have their annual meet in Tulsa that year also, to coincide with the unearthing. So yes, we’d love to have your group – that would be great.

A side note – back in 1997 or 1998, the city of Tulsa celebrated its centennial and we buried a prototype of the Prowler in a different time capsule! You’ll have to drive by and check out the mound of grass while you’re here. Nothing more exciting than giant lumps in the lawn that have cars underneath!

For now, we’d love for you to spread the word with members and begin planning a meet here in Tulsa. We’re assembling the details of the event and will keep you updated as that moves forward. If you need any information about the event, please contact me or Seth Spillman who is copied on this message. Jack Frank also is working on this project as a historian and volunteer so you might hear from any of the three of us.

As for lodging and entertainment, please feel free to contact Amy Bruna with the Convention and Visitors Bureau. You may reach her at 918-560-0266 or amybruna@tulsachamber.com. You can also visit their web site at www.visittulsa.com.

That’s it for now. Please let me know if you have any questions and we look forward to seeing you in 2007!

I think establishing a relationship with this Jesse person as well as Amy from the Tulsa CVB would be in our group's best interest.

I have served on our local CVB Board for several years. Would you like me to contact her to see what they may have planned at this point?
