Hi all, my step-father is developing some land locally and discovered these on the property. I'm not sure what they are. My step-father thinks one may be a Dodge or Desoto. They are pretty far gone. They've been sitting in a swamp basically for a long time. They're also the victims of gunshot wounds, as well. There's another 50's era car on the property somewhere in the same condition. I didn't have time to find it though. My step-father is going to pull them all out sometime this spring/summer. I told him to let me know so I can grab anything worthwhile off them - if there is anything.

With a little elbow grease, and time machine those suckers would be great.
 
I didn't know they offered sun roofs back then...lol
 
I went to Nebraska a few years back and they lined a power generation canal with cars from a junkyard to help cut down on bank erosion.
Some were pretty cool looking.

It's funny you should say that. My wife is great at reading my thoughts. She basically said "I know what you're thinking, they're not coming home with us" when I got back to the car after taking the pics. :rofl:

Sounds just like my EX... 26 years later I still miss her....... No, not really.....
 
Save any good stainless steel trim! Try to figure out what you're taking it off of! That's the fun part:)
 
Looks like a nice tranquil spot to enjoy a couple of cold ones and/or maybe a :fool: to escape the world's troubles for awhile.

This is a real kicker! Can imagine those floating down the river or to the bottom in a flood. Must a been Three Stooges Erosion Control Services..
 
The ones in Nebraska are great cover for big Flathead and Blue catfish. Where I am from it would be a great place for noodling.

I think the banks would be better protected with new Mustangs and Camaros!
