I found a picture of my old 51 I rolled it in 1964 heading back to college I went 65 ft on the side rolled it on the top it landed back on the wheels I drove it 50 more miles to college drove it the next weekend 300 miles back home but a new body on it and drove it back to college the next week. This is just the place the body found it last home it is now part of the land.

I took this picture about four years ago. It was (and maybe still is) parked in a driveway.

The convertible got saved:
The 23-window resides in Blanchard Auto Salvage, in Wilton, NH. Rusty but mostly complete. _________________ Driving in the slow lane since 1969. |

Noticed this in the local paper, but couldn't get the URL & looked elsewhere... Sort of a local car museum in GA, with lots of classics in similar states of decay: Old Car City.
Lifted off the Earth instead of returning to the Earth?
