Artifact History:	Unknown

Artifact Condition:	Vehicle has the shape of a late 1920s or early 30s roadster. The car has white wall tires and spoked metal rims. It looks like this car may have had a rumble seat in the rear. It also appears that the steering wheel is still in place. Difficult to determine if the engine remains or not. There are a couple items about 3m away from the front of the car which could be from the engine. The front bumper and fenders are present as well as one on the rear of the car.

Additional Information:	It also looks like a possible hinge rod there for a tailgate, so this very well could have been a roadster pickup like the Ford Model T's that have also been found in this area.
