Default Re: Abandoned roadster

This is how I prefer to see Model A's and T's, not in a line-up of shiny red and yellow restored ones. When I was younger, my greatest passion was combing through local farm fields, ravines, woods and creeks for abandoned Model A's, let alone peeking in rundown barns. Sometimes I found some gems, sometimes nothing. I still revel in that ditch near Washington, Iowa, that contained about 40 Model A, T and early V-8 bodies that had been dumped there in 1940 to fill the ravine for eventual farming. Boy, do I miss those days! The excitement of the hunt and "kill". This abandoned roadster photo awoke memories of all those years of excitement and hunting for abandoned antique cars. Thanks for posting it. I sure hope someone saves this car before nature completely reclaims it.
By the way, it looks more like a 1931 than a 1930 with that radiator shell.
