I posted this picture last year of a '37 Chevy street rod and a '55 Bel Air hardtop sitting in a driveway for years.  Well, I have an update for y'all. I drove by the other day, and the cars are gone.  Car guys that I know don't have a definitive answer as to what happened to them, but the assumption is that someone rescued them.  If I get any more info, I'll pass it along.

It's amazing what a coat of invisible paint can do.

Great news or maybe they were scraped and melted down and are now part of a new Honda Civic? Crying

Possibly your pics of a year ago, helped preserve them. Wouldn't that be great?
