This is a pretty cool old wreck off the beaten path at a local park. I'm trying to identify that car but I really have no idea. I'm thinking 30s, but I really can't get any farther than that.
Definitely on to something with the scoop thing and hood spline, so probably some kind of Plymouth, but the pictures I'm finding just don't have the correct shape under the headlights. It's got a very round front end and the rear fenders don't have any holes for those horizontal chrome strips.
Nobody seems to know the story behind the car wreck at Minto Brown. I've always supposed it involved drunk driving. I wonder if anyone perished in the crash. It's a sort of unofficial ghost structure.
Though I didn't put too much time into google, the only story I found was on Waymarking about a young man unlucky in love.
A story goes that a young man was trying to take a shortcut in this very car to rendezvous with a girlfriend somewhere in this area long before it became a park; but, the car broke down after running off the old dirt road which is now a paved path. He abandoned the vehicle to try and reach her on foot because he wanted to patch up differences that had left them estranged and she had agreed to meet him at their favorite park bench located somewhere on the island.
He knew he would be shipping out for war the next day and was worried that he was going to be late and miss her; so, he took his Grandfather's old car at the last moment hoping that he would make up for lost time and get to their rendezvous point in time. After running off the road, he decided to swim the creek to take a shortcut. He eventually got lost in one of the sloughs and was never heard from again.
Others say that he was too late and missed her. Totally discouraged and despondent he went off to war to try and forget his failures.
No one knows for sure which story is true. Only the car remains. It probably is just a made up story. But, you have to wonder, "How did this car get here and why didn't the park authorities remove it after all these years." It remains a mystery.
