My father-in-law has a 55 Chevy 'vert in a farm ditch here in Iowa......it has been there since the md-60's. It has a 4 inch tree growing through the midle of the floor. Kind of sad, but really cool too! The car and the tree are, one. Sort of a Zen thing? Bows on the top are still good though! Really should go through that ditch and pull some stainless and usable parts out of there. Literally, there are hundreds of cars in there. A 67 Chevelle body, a Studebaker pickup, 59 Impala, pretty neat stuff!

Get us some pics of that please, sounds cool. Well, cool in a sad way.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Sure, I will do that. The cars in places are literally three and four deep in a creek bed. Not to sound too corny, but it really is like a burial ground out there. Every car came from the family and has a story behind it. The 55 vert got put in there after an engine fire that burned all the wiring. Instead of fixing it......it went "out back". Literally! It was a black car with red interior, very nice car once. I'll get some pics over the next couple days and post. BTW, if anyone is over this way and wants to wander through it.....let me know. I'll take you. There is a decent 55 Ford that could be pulled out and saved, so could the 59 Impala as a matter of fact. Come on by guys, it really is a good time in a morbid sort of way.

I have a couple of cool pic of what my brother did to a 39 Chevy and a 55 Chevy that he found in another of these "farm ditches" we have around here. Also have a two other pics of some cars rescued from these ditches that he is going to try and get back into thier form.Can I email them to someone and have them post them?
