Tsk Tsk. This is the sort of thing that makes me wonder, cry, and think of how it could've been different if this hadn't been there. Oh, and this comment really is for all three.

Those cars probably have some historical value, but are worthless in their current condition. Could you give me a location as to where these cars are?There may be something salvageable.

I will also say that those photographs are both artistic, and they reflect on what may have happened at this location so many years ago. They really are quite interesting.

The car in the middle looks like some sort of wagon like a '56 or a '57

I've seen a place like this, i heard that the reason why they put a bunch of cars like that in creeks is to slow down the erosion.

Yeah I was wondering that about these cars too.. but years ago farmers used to just push them off in the ditch to clear up their land as well.. their kind of scattered.. could be though..

Lol.. Yeah..!! I can never get enough of this kind of thing..!! I even considered putting an ad in our local paper, about people having knowledge of old cars or trucks sitting around for photo op's.. Thank You..!!

This may have been the site of some horrible freak accident that happened in the past or even a old junk heap for cars. Who knows?

Not only is this interesting from an old-car point of view, but also from an artistic stance. It'd be better if the black Viking hood was cropped out, then the subtle shades of rusted browns and trees would be a wonderful monotone essay.

Well I think that's better, but as we all know my opinions aren't worth anything!
