Sometime after World War II, these pre-war cars were used to keep the riverbank from eroding away the Chicago & North Western Railroad bed near Benton, Wi. Six car bodies are still partially exposed. One looks to be a 39ish Ford Tudor?

With hunting season getting into full swing, I will be spending less time walking through the woods for cars. But before hunting season kicked off, I found a forest of Fords right in southwest Wisconsin. Might be tough to see: 1956 Fairlane Town Sedan, 1957 Country Sedan Station Wagon, 1964 Falcon Coupe, and 1969 Falcon Wagon. Good luck to all the hunters out this season and be safe!

1971 Chrysler Three Hundred with a factory 440 cubic inch v8 preserved up on blocks outside of Apple River. The odometer reads 23,519 miles. Could they be original and not rolled over to 123,519?!? The body and interior don't look like a 100k+ mile car.

1967 Ford Galaxie 500 4door hanging out in some high grass thistles near Shullsburg, Wi. Nothing like a perfect country side backdrop to make some beautiful photos. I would pick this view over a city skyline anytime.
