When I was a callow youth (about 55 years ago; still callow but youth is long gone) there was a wooded lot, maybe an acre or so, in which were the carcasses of many old, old cars rusting away. I’ve often wondered 8f they’re still there.

Yes a lot of that back in the day. Looking for a barn to store a Mustang I had a got a lead on a barn to find it filled with old Vettes. A lot of stuff in plain site in Suburbia. I stumbled upon a Triumph Stag in the burbs and I remember a home in "A Squared" with a 62' and 2 63 thru 67 Vettes either in the garage or one in the driveway.

A long time ago when I used to have to drive up near Lake Erie, I spotted 2 Ercoupes sitting in a corn field. Rumor was the owner flew them into his farm and landed them on a state road much to the displeasure of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s office and the State Highway Patrol. I tried for a couple of years to buy one or both to no avail. To this day when I go back to the area I slow down hoping to see those twin tails peeking out of the tall grass. Certainly wish I knew what happened to those airplanes.
