![]() This has been in the woods near where I'm staying at the moment, for many years, I ran it through some photo editing programs. Can't get close to it since property is posted with numerous no trespassing signs, was zoomed in |

Nice photo, Chris! Shame it's just sitting like that, though. |

Thanks! I'm guessing it's completely rotted underneath due to the climate here and how it appears to be sinking into the ground... I know of a guy who parts out 40s-60s Mopars who is trying to buy it with the grille and (if equipped) early hemi as his main goals |

A picture like that would look awesome in the Hemmings Abandoned Autos calendar that they do each year. It is a great picture Chris as the forest reclaims this old dinosaur of the '50's

Cool Pic! Looks kind of like a wild animal peering through the brush. |

Thanks. This car has always been there as long as I can remember, and the owner told me he drove it there in the early 80s. The owner sold a '40 or '41 Ford pickup that had a custom interior resembling the old Monogram model kit and 1940 DeLuxe car headlight conversion, and a 1946-47 Hudson pickup with a similar interior, both in red oxide primer with a generous helping of surface rust, a few years ago, and recently scrapped a 40s or 50s Chevy cab & chassis truck that had been sitting in a wooded area at the edge of his property, so there's a chance he'll sell this to someone who could use or resell the parts (probably too rusty to save, and it's a 4-door, non-Carryall sedan). |
