    Can you get it out of there (legally, of course)? Surely someone could unfold that body and turn it into something awesome. There are plenty of similar examples already on the HAMB.

    I don't see why not it's surrounded by nothing but 60+ year old garbage, and no one living anywhere near by i'm kind of thinking this might of been just one of the many country dump sites at one point with all the old bottles ,old washing machine's and rotary lawn mowers that are in the pile, might take a winch to get it up and out, it wouldn't be easy...

    But the hard work may pay off big time....
    Worse case scenario, it'd make killer garden art.

    Maaaannn....that would make a *****in rod. Are the doors or hood laying around the pile by any chance? I imagine they'd be next to impossible to find other wise. I vote for dragging it out of there!

    It would be interesting to know the whole story of the cars life to end up like that.

    Whatever it was originally it would have been great. Now due to location it might be a Woodie. LOL

    The trip down the hill did a fair amount of damage and that hudson didn't help much but that tree really did the worst of it.... still what's there is pretty solid looking....I don't live too far from there I would come give you a hand digging it out just to see the old girl saved

    It looks like it's working hard at returning back to earth.

    Hey gents! Sorry I’ve been caught up in too much work these days. The back half ( all that was left) has been reunited with a sister car of the same year, and model which only had the front half, ch***is and drive train, it had been used as a tractor during the war. So two cars will now be one.
