Artifact Condition: |
Car is mostly just chassis, however the steering wheel can still be seen prominently and entirely intact with three spokes. The back left wheel, although nearly half buried appears to be a disc-type with the pneumatic tire still with it. The other wheels appear to only be the disc rims. The car seems quite small in size. The back end looks like it may extend well beyond the rear wheels, although it is possible the axel has broken from the chassis and moved forward some. There are remnants of fenders and a running board on the seabed along with numerous other pieces. The front end of the car is mostly all gone, although the cowling is present. |

Additional Information: |
The steering wheel is a match for the Lincoln Roadsters. It appears to have had a rumble seat. *2600 lbs |
