LaSalle 40-5219 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 My father in-law just bought a property that has a steep hill on it. It looks like at least two cars were pushed down them to help soil erosion. I was wondering if anyone can identify them. The one of the back window looks like a 40-41 GM, maybe a c-body?

keiser31 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Second car was a 1955-56 Pontiac. Edited March 23, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaSalle 40-5219 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nailed it on the Pontiac, thanks! The trunk on the first car looks like it has a transition just below the window, don’t think it is a fast back. I’ll try to dig out a bit more when I go back in a couple of weeks. Until then here is another shot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3macboys Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I think Keiser was in the right ballpark but hard to know how much has been bent up - how about a 46 Chrysler Coupe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The Pontiac is a 1955 with that style & number of grooves in the top quarter trim above the taillight. 1956 type is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Neither are worth digging out. No matter how hard you rub, that patina won't just buff out. 😜 Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 You are probably right. Cant tell if this car has a suicide door from what I can see, Best leave it for the erosion protection. This is not uncommon around where I live. I hear stories all the time about what is under those briars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they were to prevent soil erosion.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
