A 1975 $3,000 Chevy Vega has been unearthed from the world's largest time capsule in Seward, Nebraska.
50 years ago.
Local shop owner Harold Davisson buried a brand-new, zero-mile Chevy Vega in a 45-ton concrete vault, wrapped in plastic and surrounded by a Kawasaki motorcycle, thousands of everyday objects, and walls painted with messages to the future.
To make sure no one missed it, he even built a giant concrete pyramid on top.
Guinness certified it as the world's largest time capsule, a record it held for decades.
On July 4, 2025, the vault was cracked open exactly as planned - revealing not just a car, but a perfectly preserved fragment of 1970s America.
