Default Old Merc.......

Wow ! Yeah, if that old Merc. could talk ? It looks like the motor is still in it ? Sad but pretty neat to find one. This country has to be littered with old vehilcles like that.
Anyone watch "American PIckers" ? There are old barn finds like that one in the woods all the time.

Thats a cool find. I seen an old Edsel once with a full grown oak tree trunk grown right through where the the engine should have been. That car must have been there 40 years or more. Wish I had a picture of it but that was way before camera phones.

Those were awesome pics, I love to hear stories and see stuff like that, it takes me back into time in my mind and makes me wonder about the Car's story it could tell. I'm gonna start carrying my Camera with me everywhere I go now, lol. Thanks
