Man , this is a rare '57 Chevy option here..

This reminds me, about 30 years ago my step father and I went to look at a 63 Chrysler New Yorker. On the phone the guy said we needed to dig it out of the bushes that had grown up around it. What he failed to tell us is that a tree had been growing INSIDE of the car. The trees seed had grown out of the front seat cushion and the roots had grown all over the interior. Wish I had a picture to share...

 

Maybe it's a tree oh one. Turn down the crank, shave the heads and put in a 5/4 cam.

 

Oh God!

Don't kindle my imagination on this subject anymore.

 

say goodnight Gracie

 

I had a chevy six with "Three On The Tree" but it didn't look like that ???
Cheers.....

 

Anyone ever see the optional tail lights way back then? They had accessory lights so there were 3 lights that light up on each side. My Dad only saw a set ONCE....and it was back in Amesbury, Mass in around 1960 - 1962 or so??? He called them "banana boat tail lights" since they seemed to be made out of a similar plastic as the dishes when you ever got a banana split

 

OAK BUD what a CRABAPPLE that was'nt CHERRY nice you BEECH FERN calling me an ASH FIR taking part in a BERRY POPLAR thread what an APPLE !

 

Now I know I laid that drag link down herre somewhere - where did I lay down that thing down??? OHHH There it is!!

 

Some other examples of "I am gonna fix that thing up soon"

 

I waited so long I wont have to use a jack to change this tire.

 

It seems like yesterday that I left that door open.

 

At least I didnt give you a poison I.V.
I wasn't bustin your Balsa.

 

Doesnt trunk go at the other end?

 

WOOD make a good BOARD racer,CUT DOWN,CHOPPED UP,all covered in GOLD-LEAF,TREE deuces,pipes BRANCHIN out through the fenders...light 'er up n nail that one...glad i SAW this thread

 

Glad I saw that mill

 

Bustin my balsa that ones awesome ! Good job Rabid Whippet . And I thought that creative writing course in high school was a waste of time . I actually had a much longer version involving a butt kickin using tree and wood timber phrases I was shocked how much of it sounded like profanity I was affraid it would upset some people so it got shortened and cleaned up. Good to know I'm not the only one on here with a warped sense of humor .

 

HOLY HELL, that's gotta be the winner for the "been here the longest" trophy!

 

In the same yard there is a 54 sedan that the tree grew up at the right tail light and pushed in the quarter to make it look like the car was backed into the tree.

 

Another tree lifting a car,these trees must be very fast growing as the cars have been there since the late 60s but the trees look way over 50 years old.

 

Cant shut the door

 

Oh jeez, now this is turning into a "Tree Grows in Brookline" thread...

 

Well...I didn't want to waste the time to look through all 11 pages to see if anyone else thinks it's a fake, so this may have already been mentioned.

It looks like the car was built around the tree. If it wasn't done that way, the tree would have grown right through the front crossmember. Since the front of the car hasn't been lifted off the ground, there probably isn't a crossmember for the tree to lift. Also, the right front wheel looks to be a little bit tilted out, at the top of the tire. Sort of like it is just set into the ground, and not attached to anything. Also, the front wheel hub does not look like a 57 Chevy hub.

It just looks fishey, to me.

 

We actually tried to save this one.. Needed a dustpan and a shop vac to load it...

 

Sure, go ahead and ruin it for everybody!

 

Perfect project for a "shade tree" mechanic.

 

Don't quit your day jobs.

 

Yew are not alone on being a little warped.
Hey I am building a friggin Whippet, now that is warped!!! LOL!!!

 

Sure that Chevy hauls ASH it's got a tall deck motor up in it

 

I heard this was a tree owner car.

 

GM's early attempt at GREEN technology......
