Sorry I couldn't figure out how to print the actual image

 

Your link doesn't work. Too many 'http's'

 

yeah I've been trying to fix the damn thing It's on the front section of the Washington post. Its some kind of IMRS file and won't let me save it correctly. But it's a 50's model with a big tree - check it out, just struck me as funny

 

IMRS requires you to buy a license....... sorry guys

 

Fixed it. Solid as a tree...

 

Is that an old tree or an Olds tree.

 

I think it's a tree oh tree !

 

A better copy of it.

 

Is that a four on the floor? No, it's a three on the tree...

 

How did they fit it over the tree????

 

That's one of them "green cars"

 

Thanks oldscutlass, I knew you guys would get a hoot!

 

Almost looks like they built it there the tree in the back the hood.Looks staged to me. I did see a 34 ford pickup with a tree growing out of it more damage than what this one is showing.The size of that tree would indicate much older than the car. Still a cool picture.

 

wonder if the motor is 50 ft up the tree!!

 

Now that is funny!

 

I like that pic. I found a related auto story that is using this pic. Is this the article?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/sty...g-car-culture/ this is a good read, I'm sure some of us can relate to about new cars dumbing down new drivers.

The pic has a caption: "An old car near Biscay Minn. seems to have acquired a second trunk".

Can anyone identify that species of tree?

Around here, that looks a lot like a cottonwood tree. If that is true, I'd say its been there since pre-1985. I have a couple of those trees. I'm no biologist, but I know when mine were planted.

 

I'd say cottonwood.
