Artifact History:	Unknown

Artifact Condition:	Vehicle is lying on it's side. The upper side of the car has collapsed forcing the roof to push out and it is lying on the seabed. Three wheels with rubber tires are present. One is missing. The wheels have "dog dish" type hub caps. It is difficult to tell if they are embossed or not. The rear double-door is also flat on the seabed. The door windows are rounded on the outer side and more flat on the inboard side. The passenger door window is visible with a broken running board nearby.

Additional Information:	The rear door window shapes along with the shape of the passenger window along with the running board appear to resemble largely the Chevy panel trucks of 1940 and 1941.
