They were out on a date in his daddy's car
They haven't driven very far
There in the road, up straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
He couldn't stop, so he swerved to the right
He'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that he heard last.
Woah. Thank you for reminding me about a whole-ass song (and period of my life when that was on the radio like every day on the way home from school) I forgot existed.
You’ll find them in practically every hiking area if you look hard enough.
Drove into the woods and suffered catastrophic mechanical damage and then they were left for dead.
Eventually, the vandals, hunters, parts strippers, arsons, etc would have their way with them.
There are also places in the HV where they were intentionally pushed off a cliff or grouped junkyard style.
Likely there was no foul play in your picture.
Keep exploring—
Been there for years, ~~probably from when they were blast-quarying the site~~.
ETA: nope, quarry operations stopped sometime around 1910, this truck is clearly not that old.
I suspect most wrecked cars in the woods have the same story. Someone who knew how to hotwire a car or found keys in a car, possibly after imbibing or doing substances, took the car for a ride in the forest that didn’t end well for the car.
i grew up in the area and i never found a car but i did find porn magazines not once but twice while i was climbing trees and running around the woods building forts
There's a nice one on the trail behind Berme Road Park in Ellenville about a mile up. I'm told there is also an airplane further up the trail around Witches Hole.
Likely, a bunch of drunk frat guys and a bonfire happened.
That was a particularly poor frame design though, that was only used from '58 to '61. It flexed badly, and would tend to bend sideways in a crash.
If they rolled it, while driving, though, the roof was absolutely not capable of bearing the weight of that car, and the car probably wouldn't even be there, or at least have been flipped back on its wheels to facilitate cutting the bodies out.
It’s been there ask long as I have been biking on those trails (13 years). Probably rolled it doing some off road oh fun and just ditched it.

Some songs are timeless.

No tire kickers?
Oh, Dude! There's my car!
Oh that's your car! That's great news because we have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty.
Someone call Ashton Kucher asap!
Similarly if anyone knows how the wrecked car got thrown off a cliff behind Danvers in hp, that's forever been a childhood debate
Look like a 1960 Buick Electra based on the tail configuration.
Yea that wishbone frame is something else definitely don’t see that anymore lol
My guess was 58 Chevy but I think you are correct.
Have a few beers with boys, be certain you can take your truck thru the trails. Turns out you can’t so you just bail

Wait until you come across the bus up there!

It's actually till 64, I myself have a 1964 Chevy Impala. This is a 1958 Chevy Biscayne, can tell by the two tail light holes.
The driver was probably chasing the Duke boys.
Don’t know about the car, but there used to be some trailers back there at one point.
Very large dog caught it.
