It doesn't happen often these days, but once in a while you turn a corner on a country road and something like this comes into view. 1967 Cutlass amongst a lot full of junk. Don't know anything about the car. Didn't stop to ask, not that there was anyone around to ask.

Overall, it doesn't look too bad, but the undercarriage can't be seen. The hood doesn't look too happy, either. Desirable Holiday Coupe style.

What's a bit funny is that the license plate on the front of the car doesn't match the one on the rear.

 

It's not a Cutlass, but this was spotted on a different country road a few months ago.

 

It’s pretty awesome to turn a corner or approach a stoplight and see an Oldsmobile. Especially one that looks nice and stock like this 1971 cutlass, seen on a morning bike ride recently.

 

I went for an hour drive around town yesterday so a lot of people saw mine.

 

C'mon. That's not the same thing. The idea is to find something moldering in the weeds!

 

Moldering in the weeds! Returning to the ground whence they came!

 

On the '67 Cutlass, the front plate appears to be a year correct plate, while the rear is from the 80's, probably from the last time it was on the road. I had the blue rear plates on cars in the early 80's my '66 GTO had them, as did my '77 Cutlass Supreme Brougham.

 

Maybe one of the bumpers were replaced?

 

Man, it hurts me to see these cars melting into the ground.

x2.
Very painful seeing them in the weeds.

 

"Oh no, it's not for sale, I am going to fix that car up"

 

I couldn't agree more, but remember that this or something similar is the fate of about 95% of all cars ever made. Their ends are not pretty.

 

Somewhere in Massachusetts that I found in a recent Google Search during an unrelated work activity.

 

A convertible. Very nice!

 

I wonder how many times he said this to people? A bit too late. Hemi, 4 spd. He also lost a 68 Hemi Dart.

 

That hurts to see...

 

Geez, what's the story behind that? I mean, besides the obvious that it was a Superbird lost to a fire.

Kind of opposite of that guy in Florida that lost a Superbird and a Daytona to Hurricane Ian.

Doc.

 

This guy was well known for having a one of 58 Hemi 4spd Superbird that he had sitting on those racks in his shop for safekeeping for someday. Refused to get it down and do anything with it. Supposedly, someone in the shop was starting or putting wood in the fire for heat when paper or something blew away and caught fire. Either that person or someone else was using a pressure washer and tried to put it out with that, but ended up blowing embers throughout that set the whole building on fire. Really sucks but what a stupid way to keep a car. And he lost a 68 Hemi Dart too, 1 of 80.
