Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

A few more- and no, none of these are for sale.

 

Museum of discarded relics?

 

That is a rare one with front-hinged doors......Chrysler Town Sedan....

 

these have been sitting and rotting on the bottom of Foss Lake in OK for 40 plus years... they found 3 bodies in the old Chevy and 3 in the Camaro... yikes!

 

call cold case files !

 

seen some additional photo(s) of the vehicle(s) .... and talk about toast ....

 

That's some sad business with those people being lost at the bottom of that lake for so long. Family members not knowing what happened to their loved ones.

 

Looks like those two cars survived better than the '57 Plymouth that was buried in KC?

 

some of the part(s) do still look salvageable .....

 

Any more info on this?

What led to the discovery?

Here is some, but not all of the information...http://charter.net/news/read/catego...p-sheriff_remains_of_6_not_5_found_in_sunk-ap

 

Hope the ID the bodies for the families.

Just incredible these cars contained bodies and possible answers to disappearance of 5-6 people.

 

Here's some my scrapper friend drug out of a farmers field,
And sold for $250 a ton!I bought the 55 f600 cab & fenders for $200 all but the Chevy car found loving homes (it was worse in person)

 

You of course mean Tulsa.

 

Yeah...that's it. Thanks.

 

I was really excited to see what that car looked like as my grandparents lived in Tulsa when it was buried and actually took part in the lottery. After seeing it when they "exhumed" it...not sure I wanted to win or not. Still a really cool story and concept. Too bad nothing they build today would be worth digging up in 50 years....

 

What ever happened to that thing after they dug it up?

Going to try and save this one.

Hey Frank, read this, especially Rule 4.

 

The first page of this thread shows a rotting 67 Camaro, post #15.......

 

Done.

 

I have seen relics recovered from the Titanic in better shape than that car. They were prone to rusting anyway (as anyone with a Forward Look era MoPar can attest to) but sitting underwater for 50 years...ouch.

 

I remember that event, and they were hoping the capsule was going to be water tight, and they're be raising a car in "new" condition,......didn't count on the leaks.

 

No biggie; there are lots of folk who are unaware or have forgotten what Ryan wants the HAMB to be. What with all of the recent revamping and refocusing going on by The Boss, it's good for us to help each other sometimes.

 

Here's a more hamb friendly car in a lake

 

And this one. They are called the Warren Chevrolet and the Steele plymouth, both are in Lake Crescent Washington. Interesting story on them

 

It was water tight....just the wrong way around! It let water in but sure didnt let it back out!!
