I found this a while back and got a picture of it today.

Here is some more pics from the same place. There were several all flattened into a ditch and 36 Ford was the only one I could identify.
I got the roof, door and other door top from the Dodge panel. The back doors are there but pretty trashed.
And I got the front door pulls from the gimacing chipmonk Nash.

Looks like the same kind of big tail on the back don't it. Those cars don't look to be rusted out real bad, as much as bashed up. Around here, our 'good stuff' is the same as everybody else's 'old rotted out crap' that they toss out.:rolleyes: Sniper
 
These cars are really solid, the part above the ground. The picture of the 49-50 Ford business coupe is bad but it is just mostly the back but with it on it's top all these years the 1/4s are really solid. Same with the Nash. The sad part I didn't get a picture of. There is maybe 5-6 cars mashed into a ditch and almost covered with dirt. I can only identify one and it's a 36 Ford.
I could have saved the back doors on the panel if they weren't blowed full of holes.

Interesting find .... stuff in South Dakota looks pretty rust-free. Wonder why most of that stuff is upside down. Cow-tippers gone wild ??
