What Am I? We Don’t Need No Stinking Roads
DT reader Scirocconut sent in photos of this derelict abandoned car and asked if DT readers could identify the hulk. I bet that DT readers could not only just identify the car, but could also determine the age/height/weight of the owner AND tell what grade fuel he/she put in before this piece of metal was left to the elements. What am I?
I probably don’t need to include these additional close up photos, but here they are.
Got another mystery car for our readers to solve? tips@dailyturismo.com
pretty sure that’s a Nash Metropolitan. Looks like it used to have the Continental kit too…
Sending my guess to tips@dailyturismo.com
Oh, well, never mind. Mike guessed my guess while I was trying not to blurt it out. Agree, late 50’s Nash Metropolitan with the spare on the bumper.
Nash here too.
Gave Mike the thumbs-up first. BTW….is this Texas?
So obvious why ask? Better question is who stripped it and dumped the hulk out there?
Whatever type of car murdered people drive
Looks like the site of a fire as well. Maybe this was put here surreptitiously and then the forest fire revealed it?
Looks like it’s shot.
Might buff out ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I had it as a Nash in the first photo, the subsequent photos made it too easy. Reminds me of when I was at CalArts and another student built three movie car Nash Metropolitan convertibles out of a truckload of junked Metropolitans and Datsun parts for a music video.
They have some interchangeable parts because they are both really Austin designs.
This isn’t near Saugus is it?
Clearly we like this sort of thing. Hit “like” if you want more. I’ve got a collection of oddities from foreign lands that should keep some of you guessing.
Hi folks. Photographer, here.
Photo was taken in Japatul, CA, slightly south east of Alpine near the Horsethief Canyon trailhead. San Diego folks, this is a great hike this time of year and highly recommended – even beyond the bullet-hole-filled car!
This part of the trail was at the edge of the “Valley Fire” of 2020. Most of the trail was unaffected and is quite gorgeous, but the little Nash was not so lucky.
Or as we used to call them “A Morris Minor in a fancy dress”.
