History What got caught under this tree?

Found in the woods near an old mill in Bridgton, Maine.

 

door handle looks early 50s caddy?

 

Looks like my car, except for the last pic with the bumper

 

Looks like a Chevy door handle.

 

Should buff out.

 

Lotus Europa. HRP

 

Whatever it was, the tree clearly won.

 

My opinion is a '49/'52 GM ( likely Pontiac or Caddy). Based on the door handle, Leaf springs, rear axle hub.

Mother Nature is smiling.

 

..........................It's certainly close enough to the ground!

 

Is that you in the photo?

 

..... well ...... did you at least try and open the door ?

 

whatever it is, your shots and the whole scene is truly a piece of art!

 

Tree said it's not for sale.

 

The owner said "I'm gonna fix it up some day"!

 

Here are three more ...

 

a gm woodie wagon before they finish it

 

Are those Octopus Trees? HRP

 

It was locked!!

 

200 years from now all cars will look like that.

 

In 200-years all available material will have been long recycled.

 

I think in 200 years all the humans will have been recycled and nature will be taking it's planet back.

 

Maybe it will start sprouting carburetors.

 

I hope so.

 

Could be a Four tree Ford.

 

I wouldn't dally around there too long, those wicked witch trees may engulf you also..

 

All right, so what car is it?

I've been searching through pictures of GM cars from 1949-'52 (thanks Ray) and some of the '50 Oldsmobiles look very close. The chrome spear on the door and the handle look correct. But it looks like there's an extra piece of chrome above the handle. Could that be a part of a deluxe trim package?

I didn't take those photos, they were taken by a friend who's a former professional photographer. But as you can see he hasn't lost any of his skill. What should I tell his dog to look for next time they're at the car? Fender script? Frame number?

 

I can't even come up with a smart assed comment. This is interesting.
Notice how many trees are winning in these various abandoned car photos?

 

Ask the dog what it smells like...The nose knows...One pissed off [or on since there is a dog there] tree...

 

That's what happens when you go parking at night under a tree and you both fall asleep! At least tell that to your kids!
