There's a new thread around here about cars of a very certain age qualifying for importation. I'm willing to bet a lot of bucks that these would qualify with the adjusted fees paid.

Someone may have been derelict....


I always thought that this mess must have had an interesting story to go with it.

Thanx all!

Packoderm your avatr has always been a fav of mine and reminds me of past travels.

I remember seeing many over the years and are/were objects d' art along desolate roads decades ago but many are still there. Much like the Alcan Hwy years ago there were roadside epitaphs marked with a relic(s) that you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere.
They reflect the rugged, hostile environment that left these monuments to be seen by future generations. They paint the misfortunes of the adventurous souls that had to abandon their precious vehicle and proceed another way. They went thru hell too arrive at their permanent resting place. What happened to them? One can only imagine.
The photos I posted are of cars well off the traveled byways. I like to examine them for clues and it's very cool see one with chrome knobs & accessories like radios still attached.:smug:
It's a veritable time capsule.:)

We were just a few vehicles behind him, we were all going about 10 mph, the tire just fell apart by the time he could pull over into a clearing...

Looks like my sister's spare tire. She was only going 25 mph or so....just flat for a long time. At least we can laugh about it now. This was the third flat in ~10 miles; the other tire had a 1/2 hole in it....note the derelict jack too...:lol:
