PHOTOGRAPHERS have photographed a nearly 100-year-old truck rotting in an abandoned forest.

In a Facebook group, the photographer presented the classic pickup truck with years of decay – the truck has probably found its final resting place.

The driver posted the pictures in a group dedicated to abandoned vintage cars.

Pictures show a 1930s Chevy pickup truck that appears to have been sitting in the woods for decades.

The truck’s engine had been removed to obtain parts.

Mature trees have taken root in the empty hood. The trees appear to be several years old and have several well-developed branches.

The wheel wells are next to the pickup because the tires and wheels are torn off.

The truck’s metal body is largely rusted and the wood-paneled loading area has turned grey due to exposure to the weather.

The car’s former grille is anchored to the ground and a single silver Chevrolet emblem points away from the pickup.

However, the photographer said that due to a local ordinance, the pickup truck will likely remain in that spot until it completely disintegrates.

“(It is located on) the forestry office’s property,” said the photographer.

“(The truck is considered) a historical artifact because it is in my possession.”

Nevertheless, several drivers said they wanted to take part of the vehicle with them as a personal item.

“This has been going on for some time,” said one commentator.

“But I would like the doors.”

Another commenter said he would like to see the truck removed from the area around the tree.

How to report an abandoned car

Reporting an abandoned vehicle is important to keep city streets safe and clean

An abandoned car is not only an eyesore, but also a danger to the surrounding population, as pests and rodents can find shelter in the interior, engine compartment or trunk.

Leakage can pose a threat to the environment, as many vehicle fluids are toxic and can have devastating effects on ecosystems if they enter waterways.

They can also encourage crime. Several cities, such as Oakland, California, report use by drug dealers to hide and smuggle drugs or weapons.

Abandoned vehicles can also reduce the value of a property.

Therefore, they are worth it. The exact contact information for the abandoned car hotline in your city may be different, but the information required about the vehicle is the same.

When the police report an abandoned vehicle, they need:

• The exact address of the vehicle
• Information about the steering column (broken, missing, intact, etc.)
• Condition of the vehicle (severe damage, broken windows, leaking fluids, missing body panels or doors, etc.)
• Make and model
• Color
• Body style (pickup, SUV, sedan, etc.)
• License plate and country if applicable
• Chassis number

In many cities, residents can report abandoned vehicles online using an online form or by phone.

CLASSIC CRUMBLE

Some other classic car fans have managed to slowly restore components of their coveted vehicles.

The US Sun spoke to Ben Klein in April while he was restoring an Edsel sedan.

Klein, a YouTuber who posts about the classic car on his channel (@ITGarage), said he has been a fan of the funky-looking brand since he was a child.

He was interested in the car even though many considered the vehicle to be a huge commercial failure.

“Edsel is just a Ford in a fancier outfit,” Klein told The US Sun.

“The biggest problem with these Edsels is their silliness.”

Ford initially promoted the cars in the 1960s as a mid-range luxury brand.

But drivers cringed at the unconventional exterior design – Klein said it looked like the sedan had sucked on a sour lemon.

“(Ford) was trying to shock the public and get them to buy the car,” he said.

“I think it was just over the top. It was mysterious and they promised all this new stuff.”
