Art & Inspiration Found:Old cars, some surface rust

Comes with fresh fish.....

I had a customer who dives Reo, and he has awesome pics of old vehicles on the lower decks of wrecked military ships.
They looked in better condition, lol.

 

Must find out what brand of battery they used....the interior light is still working after all those years.

 

Hmmm, these appear to be in better shape than my last project......

Facrory optional electric eels.

 

What were these cars? Where (other than "underwater") were they found? I wonder how they got there. They look like they were too lined-up to have been randomly dumped there for an artificial reef. Neat picture though.

 

Ran when parked.

It'll buff out?

 

Someone stole my headlight...

 

After WW2, the American military sink a shitload of boats over two days of the coast of Rio De Janeiro.
The pics I've seen, taken by an Australian customer and friend, show trucks in good condition, on the lower decks, of some of these ships.
He also has a pic, of rows of those big round mines, the Navy used back then, still sitting on a lower deck.

I've no idea where the cars that choffman posted are, but they look like 38 Ford's.

 

So THAT'S where Jim Sibley stores his future projects !

 

"Someone stole my headlight"......call the fish Police

 

COOL pictures.Wasnt there a special car on the Titanic when she sank or am I mistaken? Got any more cool pictures? Thanks Bruce.

 

Drivers on Beaver Island at the north end of Lake Michigan would abandon cars they no longer wanted by driving them out onto the ice in the winter. By summer they disappeared!

 

Might be thinking of this Bruce- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Norseman

 

Bruce, you may be thinking of the Chrysler Norseman, lost at sea on the Andrea Doria.

 

you beat me to it, 24!

 

Mac, you beat me to the Jim Sibley comment! Jim was the first guy i thought of when I saw the first picture.

 

24riverview.That's must be it.Thanks Bruce.

 

Mack the Yankee.I think that was it.Thanks Bruce.

 

Reo....????

Oh...Rio. Now it all makes sense.

 

There was one discovered and pulled out of a lake somewhere in Bama a few years ago that had the remains of a person that went missing back in the early 60's. Apparently missed curve in the road and ended up in the lake and under a rock shelf somehow. Search and rescue techniques were not as advanced back then as they are now, and it wasn't know what had happened to that person.

 

The first cars with Fins

 

All sorts of interesting things can be found in sunken cars and other vehicles.
Good luck.have fun.Be safe.

I'm pretty sure when found this Camaro solved an old missing persons case. don't remember if she was still inside.

 

Those cars in the OP look like '37 Studebakers, what a shame............
