50 Ford found in Wisconsin Lake...!

What about the SS Senator....a cargo ship that sank off of Port Washington, WI in 1929 carrying 250 new Nash autombiles? This is the largest unlocated shipwreck on Lake Michigan...she rests in 500' of water...

 

Fortunately it wasnt full of Fords.

 

Charles Nash hates you...hahaha

 

I bet that load of NASH cars would still be in pretty nice shape too-
that would be a fun shipwreck to find...

 

I'll settle for the Chrysler "Norseman" concept car that went down with the Andrea Doria...to bad about the salt water though.

500' is one hell of a dive...think that one is nice and safe from the all the Nash boys.

 

About all I can is that I would give this my vote for "Wierd HAMB story post of the year" Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy

 

You could call it "Death Trap II"

 

lol, thats so funny, cause its true.

Authorities Recover 1950s Car From Lake Waubesa

2 Madison Men Disappeared 45 Years Ago


POSTED: 10:14 pm CDT August 9, 2006

MADISON, Wis. -- The 1950s Ford coupe that local authorities believe contained the remains of two men missing for 45 years has been recovered from Lake Waubesa.

The recovery team used the diver's lift bags and a crane to recover Ronald Wick's car from the bottom of the lake.

​

A local woman who took pictures of the recovery told WISC-TV the car was in amazingly good shape when it was lifted out of the water.

"It was amazing in the efforts of the police department and the divers," said Amanda Robinson, who took pictures of the car recovery. "It was also haunting at the same time. I was overwhelmed with just the fact that the car had been down there for so long, and this family has finally gotten some closure."

Wick and Karl Stolz disappeared in February 1961. Divers will return to the search site Thursday to look for other clues to the men's disappearance.


How do you find out what happens to a car in this type of case...???

 

I recall an article I read in Motor Trend in the seventies about a barge full of then new Model T Fords sinking in Lake Michigan. The article also mentioned the missing Dymaxion and the Andrea Doria Norseman. Anybody know what issue this was?

 

500 feet, , , now your talkin exotic gas, and about 5 minutes of bottom time

 

I used to fish all the time in Waubesa. I wonder if any of my old lures are still stuck on the drip rail?
