A 1957 Pontiac Safari Star Chief Transcontinent_l.
In the woods 40 yrs. All there, though.
Would have to be a parts car...metal get real thin, even if it doesn't rust out.

San Diego weather is pretty easy on cars but even at that this Nomad is slowly rotting...

Ok its slowly rotting. My question is it worth more will it bring more cash today than it would have brought 4 years and 8 months ago? Of course the answer is it will indeed bring more today. OldWolf

in the early sixties that plymouth would have been a $35.oo dollar car I think it is worth more today than when parked.

I have talked and talked but this '50 Poncho sedan delivery still sits behind a house about 40 miles from me. The interior panels are still in this one and that is just "Texas sunburn", not serious rust at all. I'd love to put this back on the road but he's going to do it himself SOME DAY......... Sure he is. In the summer the trees hide it from the street. During the winter I worry that you guys will spot it and have more cash in hand than I ever have!
