Buried Treasure: What is this??

I dug this up in the back yard at my moms house, and I want to know if I should go digging for the rest of the car, (I am assuming it is from a car). Does anyone recognize this piece? It sort of looks like early '50s Mercury or Lincoln and it sort of doesn't... Thanks for any info!

 

Nash taillight bezel?

 

Better ask mom first........

 

Hi it is for a 1952 studebaker.

 

Time to start digging out the rest of the car... Be ready to call the F.B.I. in case there's a dead body er two in there..

 

Anyone got an excavator I could borrow? I always knew I would own a Stude some day, Just didn't know I'd be digging for it... Thanks!!

 

If Jimmy Hoffa happens to show up while digging...............I don't know anything.

I spent summer vacations in SE Penn as a kid at my grandmoms. There was a big ado in the papers when a local SCUBA diving club pulled an old 1920s roadster out of a flooded mine shaft in the 50s with a woman's skeleton still in it. I never heard if they solved the mystery. It was some kind of orphan car. I can't remember the make anymore. CRS syndrome.

 

CRS??? Hmmmm??? Would that be "Can't Remember Shit" syndrome???

 

Last I heard, he was dog food!

 

Mrs Hoffa, Perhaps?? It begs of the question, "What would Mrs. Hoffa drive??

 

Just use a pick an' shovel..... And maybe a toothbrush.. Need to go easy once you hit them bones..

 

Nah, the damn thing wouldn't eat a bite................Er..................Um.......
I mean, dog food? Gee don't know a thing about it....................

Doc.

 

Fa'get about it!

 

Well?? Did you start digging yet??? What's taking so long???

 

Yeah but give me a break. it was over a half century ago. If it had been a Ford I would still remember all the details.

 

Bump! I hope your taking pictures of the dig site..

 

Just send Mom to the spa for belated Moms day present and go rent a backhoe.
That way it shouldn't take more than a day or two for her to get over you digging up the yard

 

Good Idea! Spa day for Ma, Digging in the dirt for buried Studebaker treasure for me. Makes me wonder what other cars might be buried in the neighborhood! I might need some help digging up the neighbors properties. Any volunteers?

 

Yup, Studebaker.

 

might be fun to rent a metal detector and start there.

 

I can't wait for your pictures of the hole in Mama's back yard and the look on her face as the wrecker pulls that Studebaker convertible up and out out of it!

 

She might still be alive.... I think??

 

Now, if this was the photoshop thread, I'd be posting a pic of a '52 Stude Ragtop coming out of a big pit in my mothers yard with Mom, standing by with a tray of tea and crumpets for Mrs Hoffa...

 

No, they found Jimmy Hoffa. He was in a Chicago hospital in the maternity ward, organizing labor.

 

ha thats good oahueli. I dont know why you waste your time digging. Dynamite is the way to go if you want to move some earth.

 

A urinal for Leprechaun's, and yard Gnomes,....

This one was arrested for exposing himself in public, After you took his. (shame on you)


Heres another one looking for it !,...

 

That's some funny shit guys!!! I love this thread!

 

Hey! That's right where I found that Stude Taillight bezel! Wait till mom finds out she's got Gnomes. Does penicillin cure that or do you need something stronger?

 

Something much,... much stronger,.... Good luck !
