Just down the road from me in Lakeland Fl, there is a storage facility. The type where you can rent a small cube. They also have one area where you can keep a car, boat or trailer. 13 years ago, I first noticed that there was a 1959 Chevy station wagon just sitting there. All four tires had sunk into the sand. I don’t believe the frame is on the ground because the pumpkin and entire rear axle would be keeping the frame up off the ground. In the front, there should be a thick crossmember keeping the front up.
I was just curious about the car so I stopped and spoke to the manager or owner. She said that it was not for sale. The owner of the car pays his rent every month. She said she has been there for 22 years and the car was there when she started there. She said it was really nice at that time. It belongs to an old man who’s about 80 years old. Over the years interested people have left their phone number with the woman. When she’d give it to the owner, he would just rip them up.
Why do people do that? Some day his estate will be involve with disposing it. Hopefully it happens soon. 90% of the body has surface rust but no holes. It looks like a rat car. All the chrome is still there and in decent shape.
Next time I go by it I’ll take a couple of pictures.
